SR128, As Adopted by Senate, February 13, 2018
Senator Hildenbrand offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 128.
A resolution to designate February 15, 2018, as Conductive Education Day.
Whereas, Conductive Education (CE) was developed over sixty years ago in Hungary by Dr.
András Petö; and
Whereas, CE is a unique teaching system that maximizes the independence and mobility of
children and adults with neuromotor disabilities, such as stroke survivors and those with cerebral
palsy, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, Parkinson's disease, and spina bifida; and
Whereas, CE operates from a core belief in neuroplasticity, the lifelong ability of the brain to
reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences, and on the premise that no matter how severe
the disability, people can learn and improve when they are motivated; and
Whereas, CE has the potential to make a significant, life-changing impact on the mobility and
independence of close to 9 million people in the United States and Canada; and
Whereas, CE helps individuals learn their way to independence; and
Whereas, We encourage support for this important program that increases the independence of people with disabilities in our community; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize February 15,
2018, as Conductive Education Day; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Association for Conductive
Education in North America with our highest esteem.
