Dr. J. Anand reports as follows on the Enuresis Clinic at
Mayesbrook:—
"The Investigation and treatment of enuretics Is being
carried out on traditional lines. Dexten has been used less and
less frequently. Syrup Tryptizol has given good results in
selected cases. The bed buzzer has been invariably successful
In certain cases referral to King George Hospital was
necessary. These are being investigated for conditions like
urinary calculi and small bladder. One case required admission
for a few days."
Peripatetic
Teachers for
the Partially
Hearing
The Peripatetic Teacher for the Partially Hearing Miss
H. C. Hodges, submits the following report in conjunction
with Mrs. J. Carney:—
"There are now 38 partiallyhearing children on the register,
6 In the pre-school age group, and 16 in each of the primary
and secondary groups. During the year 1,114 visits have been
made to these children.
3 pre-school age severely deaf children have entered
schools for the deaf and there have been 8 school leavers. 1
senior boy was admitted to the Partially Hearing Unit for
Seniors in Tottenham.
Among the pre-school children at present 3 attend day
nursery, 2 severely-deaf children are awaiting admission to
schools for the deaf, and 2 children will enter the new unit for
the partially-hearing which is to be opened at Eastbury Infants'
School, Barking, in 1968. 1 Infant will be transferred from his
hearing school to the same unit.
During the year 1 child in a special school was provided
with an Amplivox Speech Training Unit for his personal use
In the class room and a loop system Installed. As he has now
been admitted to a residential centre for spastics this equipment
has been transferred to the Ley Street Day Nursery, and
is being used for the benefit of the 3 children who have a
hearing Impairment attending this nursery. Several members of
the staff have been trained to use this equipment, and thus this
nursery is very well able to help children with a hearing defect
who need the companionship of children of their own age.
Numerous children were tested by us and referred for
further investigation and treatment of their hearing problems.
We are pleased to report that 19 children are deriving great
benefit from the commercial hearing-aids purchased for them by
the Authority during the year."
