Colorado Foundation For Conductive Education

What Colorado Foundation For Conductive Education does

Colorado Foundation For Conductive Education (CFCE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 2008 and headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, with a second program site in Loveland. It delivers Conductive Education — a neuroplasticity-based, multidisciplinary methodology originating from Dr. Andras Peto in Hungary — to children and adults with motor disabilities such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, traumatic brain injury, Down syndrome, and genetic conditions. CFCE is identified as the only Conductive Education provider in Colorado, operating small-group classes of 3–8 students with 1-to-1 staffing delivered by credentialed conductive therapists.

CFCE's service portfolio spans core Conductive Education programs (CE for Children ages 2–21, CE for Adults 18+, and an annual Summer Camp) supplemented by adjunct therapy modules including Music Therapy with Neurologic Music Therapy, Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI), Occupational Therapy, and MNRI Reflex Integration. Programs are accessed via free assessments, with services billed at $50/hour through Colorado Medicaid SLS and DD waivers or at $1,100/week for private-pay summer camp. The organization has grown from eight initial students at founding to serving over 50 children and adults, including families from neighboring states.

CFCE is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by founders Roxanne and Jim Waechter and operates under Executive Director Jennifer Doyle (trained as a physical therapist in England) and Program Director Jalyss Zapfletts (trained at the National Institute for Conductive Education in Birmingham). Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining program fees, charitable donations, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships (King Soopers, Walrite, Bedrock, Ground Solutions Co, Enterprise Mobility), and annual fundraising events including a Golf Tournament and Walk and Roll. The organization is privately held as a nonprofit with no external equity ownership, no disclosed funding rounds, and outreach conducted through community channels, medical professional referrals, and a 400+ subscriber newsletter.
