The practitioners in our service, specialist educators called conductors, work closely with participants enabling them to re-learn skills that have been lost or discover new ways of achieving them. Many of our participants speak of the increased confidence and self-assurance they gain from taking an active part in finding solutions to the problems they face in everyday living. This renewed confidence in their abilities enables them to lead more active and independent lives. You may have just had a stroke or you may have just finished a period of intensive medical rehabilitation and be feeling alone and unsure of what the future may hold.
Conductors possess a detailed understanding of how strokes affect everyday living.
Your personal aims will be set in discussion with the conductors. Conductors then work with you to find new and different ways of overcoming the problems you face in a range of personal and social situations which are of importance to you. Conductors can help you to recover as much movement as possible on your affected side and help you use this efficiently within your everyday life. Your personal set of goals will be worked towards within a balanced programme which covers all areas of motor skill including speech and breathing. I need a lot of motivation to get me going.
