Physically Handicapped.
These are pupils who, not suffering from a defect of sight or
hearing, are, by reason of disease or crippling defect, unable to be
educated in an ordinary school without detriment to their health
or educational development.
Fortunately the number in this category is small, and attention
is drawn to those receiving residential treatment, which had dropped
to one at the end of 1951. There were none awaiting admission
to either Day or Resident Schools.
