Sigafoos, Jeff; And Others

British Journal of Special Education, v20 n4 p148-51 Dec 1993

This study documents the goals, purposes, and outcomes of a 6-week conductive education program for 10 children (ages 1-10) with cerebral palsy in Brisbane, Australia. Observations revealed little improvement in mobility or eating skills, though parents reported that their children had made gains in such areas as self-care, hand function, and arm movement. (JDD)
