I believe conductive education should get funding from the government . It is of huge benefit to disabled children and should be given to recognition it deserves.Marie-Claire Kay (Kurow, 2020-08-27)

Funding has been directed to the wrong areas!Tracey Elliot (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)

Where's the equity or equality in this? A school for the rich/ elite places more importance than an education and care that is severally underfunded! Sorry if you can afford to build an elaborate school you can afford to maintain it!Natasha Good (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)

Disability services should not be under prioritised over a PRIVATE enterprise charging $20,000 per student - just because sustainability is sexy. Don't forget the struggles of less abled children and their families.Kathy Wright (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)

This is crazy this organisation should 100% get funding for the children and their families to have the same opportunities as the rest of the kids in nz!Kim Jordan (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)
#1044
Totally wrong that these children don’t get the funds they deserve, to make their lives more ‘normal’ - they already are up against it, and then schools like the new Green School gets $11m handed you them... so wrongMaxine Watson (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)

Conductive Education is essential to the children and parents/ caregivers of Taranaki. Craig and his team have worked so hard to not only to build an amazing and successful center but also dedicated so many hours organising multiple fundraising events to keep Conductive operating for these amazing kids. I really hope the government supports them with funding.Bronwyn Jordan (New Plymouth, 2020-08-27)

I agree it is a head wind for disabled children and their families in Aotearoa. Specialist schools like Conductive Education are essential and need government funding. We have an 18 year old son with disabilities. It has been a complex, exhausting, never ending battle to get him the support he needs.Leigh Honnor (Inglewood, 2020-08-27)

I think that it is disgusting that the Government is giving 11.7 million dollars to a private school. If this school is so great then they could get a loan from a BankJennifer Fletcher (42553, 2020-08-28)

I am outraged that elitism and financial gain is being valued over crucial suport for kids and their families who struggle to be heard. Fighting for what your child deserves is so soul destroying.Fiona Blackbourn (New Plymouth, 2020-08-28)

These families deserve all the support and funding possible, and more. There but by the grace of god go I. I can only try to imagine what life is like and for them to have to worry about funding, along with all the other challenges they face is grossly unfair.Catherine Mueller (Havelock North, 2020-08-28)

conductive education need funding to operate otherwise they will close. The green school do not. Special needs kids always get left out. No one cares. Priorities are in the wrong place.Angela Amaru (Taranaki, 2020-08-28)

THIS IS JUST WRONG WRONG WRONG - The Green School is not NEEDED like Conductive Education is for disabled children!!!!? WTF!!!!!Marta Wilson (New Plymouth, 2020-08-28)
#1159
This should be an essential learning facility. Without it the children involved would be fair worse off that would be otherwise. What they learn ensures a better future as young adults, their families and in due course government agency needs.The parents and community work tirelessly to ensure it can stay open. Government funding in some way, shape or form should be no brainer.
Please support.

The work done by Conducive Education is so valuable, would be a huge loss if this couldn’t continue due to a lack of fundingAngela Govier (Nelson, 2020-08-29)
#1162
My son went to Conductive Education in Auckland and we need all our Cerebral Palsy kids to be able to access therapy like this. Do we want the best for these kids - best quality of life, best opportunity to get meaningful and engaging work, best chance to contribute to Society or do we want to throw them on the scrap heap of life to not realise their potential. Every kid should get a fair shot at a great life! I fully support your struggles and want to see change at a governmental level.Merryn Straker (Arkles Bay, 2020-08-29)
