learly
if the local authorities are to offer such a variety of schools as
are desirable in view of the abilities and aptitudes of the pupils,
they must accommodate those pupils who suffer from any disability of
mind or body. They must offer appropriate special educational
treatment – either in special schools or otherwise, ten categories
of pupils requiring special educational treatment have been defined
by the Secretary of State in the Handicapped Pupils and Special
Schools Regulations of 1959. These are: the blind, partially
sighted, deaf, partially hearing, delicate, educationally subnormal,
epileptic, maladjusted, physically handicapped, and those suffering
from speech defects.
Every local educational authority must ascertain what children in its area require special educational treatment.
There are still regulations governing the maximum size of classes in special schools – 10 for deaf or partially hearing pupils, or pupils suffering from speech defects; 15 for blind, particularly sighted, or maladjusted pupils; 20 for a class of educationally subnormal, epileptic, or physically handicapped pupils; 30 for delicate pupils.
There are certainly not enough places in special schools for children with the various kinds of physical handicaps. There are not enough places for maladjusted children either, and the provision for the educationally subnormal and for children unsuitable for education in school is a positive scandal. In the first place, classes in ordinary schools are far too large for individual treatment to be given in them to educationally subnormal children. There are very few teachers in ordinary schools who have been specially trained for this job.
