A CE winner

CE's winner |
The
ECS (European Conductive Organisation) has just announced on its
website –
Our
partner organization ACENA in Illinois USA won an award for their
vocational training for young adults! Congrats!
I do not know the particular
relationship between the ECA and ACENA (Association for Conductive
Education in North America) but, to
be accurate, this Award has been won by the Center for Independence for
Education, in Chicago, Illinois, under the rubric 'High Expectations
for Employment'.
.
The
Centre for Independence is indeed to be congratulated on behalf of
Conductive Education initiatives worldwide for its achievement, as
being the only CE winner not just in this year's listing but, as far
as I know, in the history of the Award (please correct
me if I am wrong)..
High
Expectations
More
substantial is to note that the Center's winning program is a
service for young adults. This award represents established CE centres' increasing response to the need to extent their practice up into the
transition years as their established clients grow up. So double
congratulations for the Center for Independence.
The
awarding body, published some general details of the Center's program
'High Expectations'. This makes welcome addition to the new but one
hopes growing CE literature of CE and young adults with cerebral
palsy and other lifelong conditions:
No
doubt many in Conductive Education around the world will now be
looking forward to learning more of this practice.
