TABLE in.
RETURN OF ALL EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN IN THE AREA.
It is assumed that every Authority will have a complete list of all
exceptional children in their area compiled from returns made continuously
during the year and kept constantly up to date. In order to
secure uniformity, Authorities are requested to make up this Table
from their list of exceptional children as it stands on the last day of
each calendar year.
Children sent by the Authority to day or residential schools outside
the area should be included in this Table; children who are living in
residential schools in the area, or attend day schools in the area, but who
come from other areas, should not be included.
Children who are living in residential schools in the area, or attend
day schools in the area, but who come from other areas, should not be
included.
For the purpose of this Table, no child should be included who
has not been examined by the School Medical Officer, by a medical
member of the Authority's staff, or by the Tuberculosis Officer.
Tuberculous children in areas other than Counties or County Boroughs
who have been ascertained by the County Tuberculosis Officer should not
appear in the Table for the County but in the Table for the appropriate
area.
The definitions of defective children as given in the Education Act,
1921, must be very carefully borne in mind.
No child should be entered under more than one heading
in this form.
CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM MULTIPLE DEFECTS.
Information is only required in respect of children suffering from any
combination of the following types of defect:—
Blindness (excluding partially sighted children).
Deafness (excluding partially deaf children).
Mental Defect.
Epilepsy.
Active Tuberculosis.
Crippling (as defined in the penultimate category of the Table).
Heart Disease.
The actual combination of defects should be stated on a separate
sheet, together with the type of school attended, e.g., in the case of a
mentally defective epileptic child, the return should show whether the
School attended is a school for mentally defective or for epileptic children.
