SPEECH THERAPY REPORT.
During the year 1943 40 children were accepted for treatment
at the Priory School Speech Therapy Clinic. Of these—
7 were discharged, cured.
4 discharged, much improved.
4 left school, 3 were almost cured.
1 discharged for irregular attendance.
1 left on being transferred to Special School.
Of the remainder—
13 show marked improvement.
7 made satisfactory progress.
1 made no progress.
2 have attended only a short time, and no report can be
made.
It has been noted that the best progress is made by those
children whose mothers interest themselves personally by attending
Clinic regularly and by supervising the practice of exercises
home.
Head and class teachers have expressed their satisfaction at
the progress made.
There is only one name on the waiting list at present.
E. Richnell.
