HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
1. Children under 5 years of age
A register of all children under the age of five years who are either mentally or
physically handicapped, is kept at the Civic Centre, to which names are added as more
information becomes available. Twenty of these children are attending Kingsley Hall
Nursery for Handicapped Children in order to lighten the burden of their parents and
to enable them to have some pre-school training, physiotherapy and speech therapy.
2. School Children
Children attending normal schools, but registered as handicapped pupils, were seen
at varying intervals by the school medical officers, in order to check their ability to cope
with normal school work.
