SPEECH THERAPY REPORT (1946).
During 1946 a total of 48 children have attended for Speech
Therapy. Of these:—
11 have been discharged cured, the follow-up after 3 months
having shown, in each case, that progress had been maintained.
2 were given a provisional discharge, but the follow-up showed
that a further period of treatment is desirable.
7 have been provisionally discharged cured, but the necessary
period for ratification has not yet elapsed.
4 left school, much improved.
3 were discharged, improved.
4 were discharged for irregular attendance.
1 left the district.
1 left at parent's request.
The remaining 15 who require a further period of treatment are all
making satisfactory progress.
The 2, who, after the provisional discharge are found to require
further treatment will be re-admitted in January.
The 3 on the waiting list will also receive treatment.
In the course of the year, 4 parents have, failed to attend for
preliminary interviews. 2 others attended for interviews, but stated
that they did not wish their children to receive regular treatment.
