The Paces Project is born in the experience of disability; specifically, the experience of the parenting of children and young people with physical impairments and their related learning difficulties. The Paces Project also recognizes the needs of the families and carers as well as the children and young people themselves; of the need for independence as well as the need for inclusion in wider community life. Paces is a charitable company, coming together originally in 1992 as an association of parents who had seen at first hand the benefits to children and young people with cerebral palsy of conductive education as practiced at the Pető Institute in Budapest, Hungary. From the beginning, it has been clearly understood that Paces, as an innovator of education services and an advocate for Conductive Education, of necessity has a role to challenge orthodoxy and to find its own place in the mainstream. This role will continue. Paces’ core activity is the delivery of Conductive Education programmes to children, young people and adults.
