Senate Resolution No. designates February 19, 2026, as Conductive Education Day, recognizing the significance of Conductive Education (CE) as a teaching system developed over 70 years ago by Dr. Andras Peto in Hungary. CE is based on the principle of neuroplasticity, which suggests that individuals can learn and improve their abilities regardless of the severity of their disabilities. This approach is particularly beneficial for children and adults with neuromotor impairments, including those affected by conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and acquired brain injuries.
The resolution highlights the potential of CE to positively impact the lives of nearly 9 million individuals in the United States and Canada by enhancing their mobility and independence. The Senate encourages support for this important program, emphasizing its role in fostering motivation and improvement among those with disabilities.
