Rainbow Centre (The Rainbow Centre for Conductive Education)

The Rainbow Centre provides help and support to children with Cerebral Palsy.

The Rainbow Centre was created by a small group of parents looking to provide the best help and support they could for their children with Cerebral Palsy. That search led to finding Conductive Education, a system of learning based on the simple concept of human potential that everyone has the capability to learn and develop, irrespective of their starting point. This is the Rainbow Centre’s DNA and over 30 years, the secret of our neuro rehabilitation success.
