MI SR0119

Declares February 20, 2014, as Conductive Education Day in Michigan.

Recognizes conductive education (CE) as a teaching system developed over 60 years ago in Hungary by Dr. András Petö that helps children and adults with neuromotor disabilities including cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and spina bifida improve mobility and independence.

Notes that CE is based on neuroplasticity principles—the brain's ability to reorganize neural pathways throughout life—and the belief that people can learn and improve regardless of disability severity when motivated.

States CE has potential to impact approximately 9 million people with disabilities in the United States and Canada.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the Association for Conductive Education in North America.
