work has been done and the very close contact between the
Child Guidance Clinic and Mrs. Bowman has been maintained.
A second teacher has been appointed to assist Mrs. Bowman so
that more children will be admitted during the year.
The Remedial Classes also now have a definite name,
being known as the Becontree Remedial Centre. A small group
was formed there during the year to provide the maximum
opportunity for six very withdrawn children to work with a
specially appointed teacher in a more protected setting. This
has been very helpful to them and for the first time five of the
children were able to form a corporate group.
All these special units require a very considerable amount
of liaison in their organisation and in catering for their special
requirements. We are very grateful for all the help that has been
so generously offered by the Education Officers and the cooperation
of the School Medical Service which has been so
valuable.
Our work of testing the children in the normal schools has
continued as usual and we very much appreciate the extra
provisions that are made so that we can cater for those children
who need extra help at some time during their school careers."
