Maria Hari, director of the Peto Institute, which developed conductive education, died at home in Budapest, Hungary, on 6 October. Conductive education for those suffering motor disorders from cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, head injuries or strokes, was developed by Andras Peto in Hungary after the Second World War. Miss Hari was chiefly responsible for developing the specialist profession of 'conductor'.

Many will grieve her passing but in years to come, as conductive education becomes more widely available here, many more will have cause to celebrate what she helped to build.'
