Pupils handicapped by severe blindness or deafness are normally educated in special schools.
Special educational treatment may be provided for other categories in an ordinary school with special
consideration appropriate to the disability. Where this is not appropriate arrangements are made
for handicapped children to attend day or residential special schools.
There are increasing numbers of handicapped children with more than one disability who do not fall
clearly in one category, and an increasing need for facilities to assess the needs of these children
and to supply the appropriate education and treatment. An example is the physically handicapped,
deaf chi Id.
Home tuition may be arranged on a temporary or permanent basis for children unfit for education
at school.
The following table shows the number of pupils newly ascertained as handicapped, and newly placed
in special schools during the year, and the distribution of ascertained handicapped children on 22nd
