Thursday, February 25th is Conductive Education Day 2010
On Thursday, February 25th, the member organizations that comprise The Association for Conductive Education in North America (ACENA) will be celebrating Conductive Education Day 2010. ACENA is the representative of the programs and professionals providing Conductive Education services within the North American Continent. ACENA acknowledges and promotes the practice of Conductive Education. Conductive Education has the potential to make a significant, life-changing impact on the mobility and independence of close to 9 million people in Canada and the United States. Millions more will also indirectly benefit – spouses, parents and caregivers – by having their loved become more independent, motivated and self-sufficient. The Conductive Learning Center (CLC) located at 2428 Burton SE in Grand Rapids, considered the premiere CE program in North America, is proud to celebrate Conductive Education Day 2010. The CLC has served children from more than 35 states and three countries. It is the only CE program under the direct supervision of the Peto Institute. Also, CLC serves as the lab school for the Aquinas College, POHI/CE teacher training program. We encourage people in the community to help us celebrate the day and to learn more about Conductive Education!Help Support CLC
