HANDICAPPED CHILDREN.
Section 33 of the Education Act, 1944, and the regulations 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.
A record of all such children is revised annually from 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.
