What we offer at IICE:

    IICE accepts children based on an assessment process. The assessment done by our Conductor will determine the eligibility of the child for the program. This process consists of: assessment questionnaire, medical summaries, an educational document (IFSP/IEP). Families of children who are Conductive Education eligible will be notified, details will be discusse.

You can download our assessment form here.

IICE programs are mainly year-around programs. You might participate in short-term programs (4-6 weeks) as well; in this case we strongly recommend daily attendance in the best interest of the child.

 About our class programs and one-on-one consultations:

When accepting a child in our program, we will place her/him in an age appropriate class. In certain situations, one-on-one consultations are available based on the Conductor's decision.  Please note: content and length of consultations may vary according to the needs, capabilities and potentials of your child. Every program is written and lead by the Conductor and based on the principles of Conductive Education.

Conductive Education is more than a simple therapy: it's a life style. Its success is depending on a "can do" attitude and requires the full understanding and support of the family. We would like to help when your child is not in the class with us as well.

Adjustments to tuition are not made for absences, illnesses, conferences, school holidays, snow days or vacations.

Each student’s account must be up to date prior to the next session enrollment being accepted. The minimum enrollment is four weeks. Shorter enrollment periods may be arranged at the discretion of the Director and Conductor.

Please call us for more details.

Additional Services:

Conductive Education outside of the class:

We teach our kids skills, so they can apply them in their everyday life, and become as independent as possible. Therefore we believe CE doesn't stop at our door. The Conductor might help you with developing the optimal environment for your child in your home, in school and more. Please feel free to ask if you need advice or help.
