SPEECH THERAPY
During 1964, the Speech Clinic Staff consisted of four fulltime
Speech Therapists. Miss Deakin left Croydon to work in
Canada, and was replaced by Miss Connery. As the pressure of
work is high, it is hoped to increase the staff by at least two
further full-time Speech Therapists.
One extra Treatment session has been allocated to St. Giles'
School, making a total of three sessions in all. In addition,
two sessions per week are given to the new clinic in ffaddon.
The Speech Clinic has had several visitors during the course
of the year, including two official overseas visitors sent by
the College of Speech Therapists. As in the past, several talks
have been given to interested Parties e.g. Guild of Social
Service, Mothers groups at Welfare Centres etc.
A "Parent* s Evening" and two "Mother's Discussion Groups"
have again been held at this clinic and were most successful.
As mentioned in previous reports, the problem of the severely
Speech Defective Child, his Treatment and Education has
continued to cause concern.
Further details of the work carried out are shown on page 48.
