Professional activities within Conductive Education (CE)

During the period I did extensive research on the subject and visited CE activities worldwide. Projects funded by TV 4 in Sweden and the Swedish Film Institute as well as Swedish national television, SVT.

The period 1997 – 2003 very active period as opinion leader and lobbyists to get CE to an established treatment option in the Swedish system of habilitation and rehabilitation.

Between the years 2000 – 2003 owned and operated; Mullback Institute (MI) as operations manager. A treatment centre for neurologically impaired, with CE as a processing concept, with 10 care places and round the clock service.

In autumn 2003 was Mullback Institute sold to Bräcke Diakoni. (Bräcke Diakoni has since 1958 been a leader in Sweden within habilitation services for neurologically disabled and within training and development of staff). Sale of MI was a big step in the lobbying work, to get the CE established in Sweden.
