N.B.—Children are often referred for more than one difficulty, but the major one only has been
included in this table.
N.B.—These percentages refer to all (including
Council) cases dealt with at
the clinic.
N.B.-—The term "partly adjusted" indicates
that, though seemingly normal, some
latent instability persists, and may
cause recurrence of difficulties at a
later date.
East London
child
guidance
clinic.
The work at the East London child guidance clinic, which is organised at the
Jew's Free school, Whitechapel, by the Jewish Health Organisation of Great Britain,
has continued during the year, under the direction of Dr. Emanuel Miller. With
the approval of the Board of Education, the attendances of children at this clinic
are, as at the other two child guidance clinics mentioned in this report, counted as
equivalent to attendance at school. From the report submitted by Dr. Miller, it
appears that, during 1932, the total number of cases referred to the clinic was 177
(129 boys and 48 girls), of which 150 were in attendance at Council schools. The age
distribution was as follows: under 5 years of age, 5; between 5 and 14 years, 152;
over 14 years, 20.
