Conductive Education Rehabilitation

......It's about helping children and adults with neuro-motor disabilities gain physical mobility, functional independence and confidence... one small step at a time.

Meet Wyatt...

When Wyatt came to The Movement Centre in late 2013, he was less than a year old. Having had a perinatal stroke that affected his left side, he was unable to crawl, walk or stand independently.

Using Conductive Education rehabilitation, Wyatt worked hard on the skills necessary to learn to crawl, stand up, and walk. Over the months, Wyatt’s focus paid off! With the guidance of his conductors, he took his first independent steps at The Movement Centre last year, with his Mom proudly looking on!

Now, Wyatt is not only walking independently, he’s running! With Wyatt’s newfound skills, he is ready to take on some new challenges. With independent movement comes the need to work on balance and other measures to stay “safe” – and he is learning these skills by stepping onto and over various obstacles during his sessions.

With your generosity, you are helping kids like Wyatt benefit from Conductive Education rehabilitation - provided at The Movement Centre of Manitoba. Your financial support makes a difference!

Margy, along with several guests (pictured above), met Rochelle Squires at the Legislature where photographs where taken and Margy was presented with a copy of the Member's Statement. Margy and her guests observed from the visitor's gallery as Ms. Squires presented her statement to Members.

Margy was recognized for her years as an educator, her entrepreneurship, her strength of character and will, her dedication to her family and children, and for co-founding and being the driving force behind The Movement Centre.
