HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
ASCERTAINMENT. The arrangements for ascertainment remained unchanged during
the year.
BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED CHILDREN. A blind child is defined as one who has
no sight, or whose sight is or is likely to become so defective that it requires
education by methods not involving the use of sight. A partially sighted child is
one who, by reason of defective vision, cannot follow the ordinary curriculum without
detriment to its sight or to its educational development, but can be educated by
special methods involving the use of sight. The Authority has made no direct
arrangement for the education of blind and partially sighted children, but where
possible arrangements are made for these children to be admitted to residential or
day special schools conducted under other auspices. The following figures relate
to work carried out in connection with blind and partially sighted children during
the year:-
