Treatment.
Facilities exist at Carshalton and some parents go to private
clinics in London offering special treatment for Spastics. The
Croydon Branch of the National Spastics Society is also
conducting a day nursery and treatment centre.
Education.
Spastics with marked disability but normal intelligence are
accepted as day pupils at St. Margaret's School for Spastics.
Those with similar disabilities, but an I.Q. of less than 80 are
admitted to the special day school for physically handicapped
children, where special treatment is available. When the
physical defect is slight and intelligence average a normal day
school has proved satisfactory.
Similarly with minor physical disability and educational subnormality
a day school for educationally sub-normal children
has been recommended.
Whenever possible, ineducable Spastics are admitted to the
Corporation's Occupation Centre.
Recommendations for special training after school age are
made to the Welfare Department.
