Since September 1956 there has been a further full time
Speech Therapist appointed, to replace the part time Miss Carter
who had rendered valuable service to the Clinic for a number of
years. The staff now numbers three, providing an adequate service
to cope with cases requiring treatment in the school population.
Now that the Speech Clinic can offer a full service, the
Therapists have been able to do a numberof visits to the Schools
to select cases requiring treatment. This has been of great help
to them, in making a more personal contact with the Head Teachers
and staff, as well as facilitating early diagnosis and treatment.
We should like to thank the schools for their generous and willing
co-operation.
The experiment undertaken to attend St. Christopher's school
for a session a week, has fully justified the undertaking, as
there is now a very considerable waiting list and urgent requests
for more time to be spent there in treatment.
