Reps. Dillon, Barnett, Brinks, Darany, Geiss, Lamonte, Slavens and Talabi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 32.  

A resolution to declare February 21, 2013, as Conductive Education Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Conductive education was developed over sixty years ago in Hungary by Dr. András Peto; and

Whereas, Conductive education is a unique teaching system that maximizes the independence and mobility of children and adults with neuro-motor disabilities like stroke survivors, and those with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, Parkinson's disease, and spina bifida; and

Whereas, Conductive education 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, Conductive education 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

Whereas, Conductive education helps individuals learn their way to independence; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 21, 2013, as Conductive Education day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage supporting this important program that increases the independence of people with disabilities in our community.
