Speech Therapy
The two speech therapists, Miss Symes and Miss Shipley, report as follows:-
"1964 has seen little change in the work of the Speech Therapy Department and
statistics ran more or less parallel with those of previous years. As usual,
more boys than girls have required treatment.
For approximately five months the Barking Area had been without a Speech
Therapist. In order to reduce the growing waiting list, and to enable the most
urgent of the existing cases to resume treatment, we attended for three sessions
each week at the Central Clinic over the last three months.
We have been delighted with the portable tape recorder supplied to us.
For the efficient running of a Speech Clinic, it is of inestimable value to
have a reliable Clerical Assistant, who can often do much valuable social work
for the Speech Therapists by a sympathetic management of parents and children in
the waiting room."
