Report in Spanish of Conductive Education in the US

A very unusual news item has been sent to me this weekend. 

A Spanish language newspaper La Prensa Libre, has published a short report of Conductive Education services in Fayetteville,Arkansas, provided by United Cerebral Palsy.

A special education teacher in early childhood is quoted in the piece and although her name is Hungarian it is not clear that she is a conductor.

This 'maestra de educación especial' is in fact conductor Orsolya Tóth-Pethő.

I guess that, if the article had referred to her as a 'conductor',its readers might have thought that she drives a bus.

Ah, language! Does anyone know how Spanish-Americans are getting round this one?
