Three more disabled bathrooms were completed in the 23-room Apartment Hotel of Pető Institute in December 2009. As a result of the special „flat” shower and skidproof flooring, we can provide our disabled guests more convenient and secure environment.

Changes in the reservation system
We kindly call our regular guests’ attention that from 2009 reservation is possible only via e-mail, and with paying a deposit.The deposit system had to be introduced in order to protect the interest of the families who come to the Institute and wish to stay in the hotel. There were too many guests (sadly even regular ones) who failed to cancel their reservations and did not turn up while we sent away others whom we could have put up.
Thank you for understanding.
Peto Institute
The András Pető Institute Of Conductive Education And College For Conductor Training
The Principle and Aim of Conductive Education
Physician and educator András Pető developed his conductive educational system after World War II, in 1945. His method opened up a new way for the rehabilitation of motor disordered children and adults whose dysfunction was due to damages to the central nervous system. His approach was first taught and practised in the Institute named after him. According to Professor Pető, in addition to damages of the central nervous system, motor disability is chiefly due to the lack of co-operation among different functions. He argued that instead of applying special therapies, these people need to be treated through real education, and thus he created the system of conductive education to prove the idea. Conductive education is based on the idea that despite the damage, the nervous system still possesses the capacity to form new neural connections.Our Mission
Our mission is to show individuals suffering from injuries to the central nervous system and their families the way to a full life and to make society aware of the opportunities to help.
Physician and educator Andras Pető developed his conductive education system after World War II, in 1945. His method opened up a new path for the rehabilitation of children and adults whose motor impairments originate from damage to the central nervous system. His approach was first taught and practised in the predecessor of the Institute now named after him. Conductive education is based on the idea that despite the damage, the nervous system still possesses the capacity to form new neural connections and this ability can be mobilised with the help of a properly guided teaching and learning process. That is the reason why Professor Pető called his method "conductive" (Latin origin).
