This catalogue includes all papers, documents, reviews, bibliographies etc discovered on the Internet that are relevant to Conductive Education. These items are arranged by subject and include all known bibliographic details wherever possible. There is a list of subjects on the right-hand side, just click to access items in that area.

Please note that none of the items have been evaluated for quality. That is a job for readers: it is not the role of a library. Inclusion in this catalogue indicates solely their existence on the Internet.

Please also note that items with two red stars next to the author's name are only available to purchase and not accessible without payment.

New home and format for this Library

At long last I can announce that the Virtual Library of Conductive Education now has a new format - and a new home, thanks to Ben Foulger.


Ben has spent a lot of his own time in the past few months creating a searchable database for the Virtual Library and in the process been very patient with my requests for all sorts of features, changes, yet more changes and further additions - he has managed them all. Wonderful.

Ben, I salute you!

The catalogue can now be found on the website of Conduction, the new UK charity for Conductive Education at  http://www.e-conduction.org/virtuallibrary

The contents of the Library currently aton this blog will gradually be included along with new items and the same criterium applies for those, that is availablility on the Internet. Some are free to acess and some require a subscription, password or payment for an individual article. So far items included are written e.g. articles, conference papers, documents, presentations. Films and videos may be added later.

I have added over 100 items to the catalogue so far, but as you can appreciate transferring the material from the blog to the database takes time. I will add any new finds straight into the new format - in fact I have added some already - whilst continuing to 'move' the old items across.
This blog will remain and not be deleted until this process is completed.

Some people may be unused to searching a catalogue online, so there is a link to a help page containing some basic instructions and guidance.

This catalogue, like all 'live' library catalogues, will never be 'finished' as more new material becomes available and is recorded. I welcome any help you can offer in finding such material.


You will see that there is also a link to a Depository on the same page. It is hoped to put complete documents, unpublished papers, articles etc not available elsewhere into this starting very soon. At present it is empty.


As always, if you have any queries, suggestions for improving the new set-up or suggestions for inclusion, please do let me know.
