SPEECH THERAPY
The two Speech Therapists Miss Eileen Symes and Miss Celia
Delaforce report as follows:-
"There has been little change to note in the work of the eight
speech clinics which operate in the Borough. The treatment of the
Borough's pre-school, and school-children with speech and language
disorders continues successfully, and the very fact that there are no
changes may be a measure of the therapeutic value of treatment, as
carried out in this Borough.
Stability, and a permanence of relationship is an essential
factor to successful therapy, where trust has been built up over a
long period of time. Miss Symes has been in this Borough since 1951
and Miss Delaforce since 1965.
Nevertheless, we would urge that a real endeavour should be
made to appoint at least one more speech therapist as soon as possible
as the need for maintaining the high standards of speech therapy in
Barking is vital.
