made thereunder have placed on the Local Education
Authorities responsibilities for the provision of
suitable education of children suffering from disability of
mind or body.

returns submitted by all Head Teachers, and any new cases
attending local maintained schools are reported to me with a
view to medical examination and ascertainment of their
suitability or otherwise of attendance at an ordinary school.
The several categories of pupils requiring special
educational treatment as defined in the Handicapped Pupils
(Certificate) Regulations, 1953, came into operation on 16th

The number of children coming within these categories
and their disposition as on the 31st December, 1961,
are tabulated in the following table in accordance with the
Handicapped Pupils Regulations, 1953, and amended by the
Handicapped Pupils and Special Schools Regulations, 1959,
