In
1998 a group of Southland parents who were travelling to Dunedin
for Conductive Education, successfully established The Conductive
Education (Southland) Charitable Trust to provide Conductive
Education programmes for pre-school & school age children
with Motor Disorders.
The
group with the help of grants, donations and fundraising were
able to financially secure their future with the help of Focus
Ltd an Auckland Company who bought, along with their administration
abilities the first Hungarian Conductor to Southland.

and providing Conductors discontinued their service and Centre
in Invercargill. During this time the centre was run by two
Hungarian Conductors and one Assistant/Administrator.

set about recruiting profile business-people to assist them
re-group and re-form Our Centre, Our Way, at Invercargill.
The
current role of the centre is 47 children; these children
come from all over Otago and Southland, with many of our families
traveling long distances to regularly attend classes.
