Vale Road School for Physically Handicapped Children
Cerebral Palsy Unit
During the year 25 children suffering from cerebral palsy were
cared for at the Vale Road Day Special School for Physically Handicapped
Children, Tottenham. The visiting consultant (Dr. William
Dunham) exercises close supervision of these children, reviewing them
individually at regular intervals. Teachers, therapist, school nurse
and parents all strive to one end; namely, to enable these severely
handicapped children to tackle the everyday activities of home and
classroom, as far as possible in a normal way.
