Eleven children received treatment at the Elizabeth Pry School including four young
spastics in the nursery class of the Spastic Unit. Six children received treatment at Gurney
school. Fifteen children received treatment at Grange Road Maternity and Child Welfare Clinic,
where the speech therapist is allowed the use of a room for two sessions a week. Several
children were referred to Mr.Scott, the Aural Surgeon, for examination.
The recording machines at the Spastic Unit and the Speech Clinic have been in
constant use, and are proving a great help in treatment. A permanent record is being made,
at the Spastic Unit of the progress of each child, by regular recordings every half-term.
Our thanks are due to all those who have co-operated with our work, and enabled us
to help the children under our care.
