The great volume of remedial work that is undertaken by
the School Health Service as a result of the demonstration of
individual defects in scholars discovered at routine inspection,
extends into every field of medicine, surgery and physiotherapy.
Such remedial and corrective therapy would often be applied too
late but for this service, for under existing circumstances in no
other way would the parent be made aware that there exists in
the child a potential handicap to his normal growth, future
happiness and chance of attaining useful citizenship.
