Physician and educator András Pető developed his conductive educational system after World War II, in 1945. His method opened up a new way for the rehabilitation of motor disordered children and adults whose dysfunction was due to damages to the central nervous system. His approach was first taught and practised in the Institute named after him. According to Professor Pető, in addition to damages of the central nervous system, motor disability is chiefly due to the lack of co-operation among different functions. He argued that instead of applying special therapies, these people need to be treated through real education, and thus he created the system of conductive education to prove the idea. Conductive education is based on the idea that despite the damage, the nervous system still possesses the capacity to form new neural connections.
