title: Conductive education--magic or myth?
abstract: Subjective reports on the results of conductive education (CE) in 18 groups of children in English schools, and in 16 children who had been to Hungary were examined. Although many improvements seem to be indicated, rigorous scientific methods were not used, and the verdict on CE must remain open. The newly established Foundation for Conductive Education in Birmingham may help to resolve current uncertainty.
