After a skiing accident left him quadriplegic in 1979, Sam Sullivan decided to reach out to other people with disabilities to help them take more responsibility for their lives. Sam believed barriers preventing or limiting full participation in society by people with disabilities could be surmounted through action and effort on the part of the individual, with the support of their able-bodied counterparts. Sam's willpower and entrepreneurship brought into reality several of the objectives he originally set out to achieve. With determination, energy, ingenuity and sheer effort, he launched six non-profit societies, all representing the ideal of promoting full citizenship in the community. The activities and programs these societies offer help improve the lives of people with disabilities not only in Vancouver and B.C. but also across North America and around the world.

What is the philosophy of Conductive Education? Conductive education is neither therapy, treatment nor cure. It recognizes motor disorders as chronic conditions which result in problems of learning or relearning which will respond to appropriate teaching. Conductive Education fully acknowledges that children or adults with motor disorders may have continuing medical needs, which will benifit from appropriate medical intervention. This does not deny the needs for teaching and learning. Conductive Education asserts that there is much more to living and development than the medical and the social. There is the phycological too and, as in every sphere of human life, this is best addressed by education in its wildest sense. Further, as in all excellent education, the goal of Conductive Education is to create autonomous learners who go on to learn, adapt and develop under their own direction, because that is how they now are.
