This service has made a huge difference to my grandson's development. There is a huge need for this service in Taranaki. It should definitely be funded. I've been a parent of a severely disabled child for over 30 years, nothing has changed and parents are still fighting for basic support needs for their loved ones.

I attend with a child I care for I see weekly the amazing difference this organisation makes to her life and others. There is no other service available like it.

My daughter attends Conductive Education in Taranaki and prior to that in Hamilton. Without this therapy she and many other unique children would not have progressed as well as they have. A lot of Voluntary work has gone into the realisation of this facility in New Plymouth. The government funding that has been sought is key to securing it’s future and providing these children with the opportunity to realise their full potential.

It shouldn't close

Lisa Kinnon (Auckland , 2020-08-04)

Sadly we need too because our government aren't interested in spending its people's tax money on the people's future. Our politicians line there own pockets with tax payers coin and then take more away from them. More and more children are coming into this world facing disabilities why government would take away what's essentially a lifeline I'll never be OK with.

These are essential workers for these children that fall through the gaps.

My darling nephew went here and he improved sooo well, plus traveling to Hamilton is a long trip and costs heaps to travel there

Lesley Roebuck (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

#466

This is a much needed resource in our area. Life is hard enough and cost from traveling out of area is to much strain of a family already under stress from from caring for someone with disabilities.

Vicki Griggs (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

I'm signing because Craig Nielsen stayed at our place every week for 2 years when he was traveling with his son Zak before he could open up the centre in New Plymouth. Zak, Craig and all the children and parents deserve support.

It is unfair that they are not government funded

this centre helped my nephew so much, it would be a shame to see it go

I am a Nana of George who goes to Conductive Education- he has developed a lot more confidence and his balance has improved because of Renata’s encouragement- it’s a fantastic facility for our disabled kids

This service is vital to the health and wellbeing of the entire community as a whole. Please support the great work they do and help. ❤️🧡💛

I have a family member using this service and it is the only option for therapy as the DHB doesn’t provide any for children over 5 years old.

Providing speacalist support for children with disabilities is an esssential part of what we should provide as a society

Gary Boyd (Auckland, 2020-08-04)

I know a family who have benefited so much from this wonderful education institution. They also contribute to the fundraising regularly.

Wendy Zelt (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

I believe in Conductive Education a d it should be a government funded option for families in Taranaki

Sally Thomas (Christchurch, 2020-08-04)

Taranaki needs Conductive Education to give children like Zak the support they need to grow and develop to their full potential.

Natasha Griffiths (Hamilton , 2020-08-04)

#493

This is important

Holly Shanahan (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

I am an occupational therapy student and i think this service is vital in helping children with special needs get a good start to life. We need to assist people with disabilities and support services that can help rather than making it harder for them than it already is!

Gemma Hunt (Hamilton , 2020-08-04)

#499

Government funding should be readily available to organisations like Conductive Education, the need for such organisations to self fund is wrong.

Rob Reade (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

I am signing this because this service is doing an incredible service with this young ones. They are able to help these little people achieve goals and milestones that they have been told would not be achieveable

Marie Riordan (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

For years business owners such as myself provided thousands in donations. My $5000 per year went to children's funds mostly. Now I'm out of work without income as many other people.
The gaps are now showing and Government will learn how valuable we all were to such charities as these.

Rhys Humphries (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

my daughter went to the centre in Hamilton and it was the best thing we could have ever done

Conductive Education is a service greatly needed in Taranaki. This has been proven time and time again . These children are deserving of the same level of care as any other child in nz . Government should be funding this from the day they opened their doors .

Robyn lewis (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

I believe in the awesome job the Taranaki Conductive Education group are making to tamariki and whānau

Shiralee Pene (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

#525

This is yet another cause that should be funded by central government. There are too many worthy organisations who depend on public donations. The public can only do so much - the government has to accept its own responsibility and step up for important causes such as this.

John Wilkins (Warkworth, 2020-08-04)

We need this great programme for our Taranaki Tamariki to stay!

Tracey Goble (New Plymouth , 2020-08-04)

Conductive education deals with vulnerable children and benefits their families, many of whom do not have a lot of options or other support. Conductive education offers invaluable service and experiences to disabled children. They do an amazing job and need all the support they can get to continue.

Sabine de Crevoisier (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

To support my cousin Sarah and her husband Ryan and the one and only gorgeous Lachlan!!

I love Zak (and Craig of course) and want the best for him and all the other kids. I want them to grow up and have what every other kid has if not more

Samantha Baker (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

This place is crucial. I am an ece teacher and know children who are closing connected to Conductive Education. This should be top priority to endorse for us to be a equitable nation full of aroha that we deem declare.

I work for a special needs school and these beautiful children need all the help the government can provide. Don’t let them lose this vital facility.

It’s ludicrous there needs to be a petition for this! These children deserve every opportunity they can possibly get

Bobbie Fairhurst (New plymouth, 2020-08-04)

It's important that funding is available to help each child overcome difficulties in their ability to learn and function as normal children do.

This is a service that benefits so many beautiful kids and their families. Kids who have enough struggles as do the whānau without the added worry of cost to secure this suppprt.

Katrina Williams-Rukuwai (New Plymouth, 2020-08-04)

Children are innocent and deserve great things, why take funding from here.

Nicole Heron (Wellington , 2020-08-04)
