Frequently
asked questions:
I don't
live in Minnesota or South Carolina or even close, but would like to
try CE
IICE can
still help you to find a way so your child can participate in
Conductive Education. We can provide you with a Conductor, run a 4-6
week program or find an existing Learning Center in your area.
Please contact us for details.
Is there
an age limit for the children?
Normally
we work children from few months to 16 years old. Please note that
CE is the most effective in the early years, older students usually
attended CE for years already.
My child has a different type of disability...
Conductive Education is
working with some other disabilities similar to CP as well.
Eligibility is based on the assessment, however there are cases when
CE is not suitable: down syndrome, autism, significant behavior
problems etc. Please see our Conductor.
What about insurance coverage?
Though
having your insurance cover the expenses of Conductive Education
would be really important, it's not an easy thing to achieve.
Centers all over the country have been working on this for years
without any significant breakthroughs. Insurance companies already
decreased the therapy time for children per month, so you can't
count on them when it comes to CE.
What other sources are
available?
Every
state is a different. In Minnesota there is a so called
Waiver System, which means that the state helps with some expenses
not covered by insurance. Pure Conductive Education usually falls in
the accepted categories. We strongly recommend you to talk with your
Social Worker, and check out the links belonging to this subject.
It's also good if your child has a scholarship, and fundraising is
one of the best ways to go.
I'm coming from out of state, is
there any way I can participate in the program?
Families
coming from longer distance are always welcomed. At this moment if
you do so, you have to find a place to stay, and we can schedule a
short period (few weeks) intense program for you, like our Summer
Camps.
