SPECTRUM: Special Education

Abstract

The London School Board made its first resolution on blind and deaf children as early as 1872 — setting a pattern for pioneering/experimental special education which has significance throughout the whole educational structure. Post‐war development was initially held up in terms of new buildings because, with the emphasis on special education in the 1944 Act, it was felt that London would have to wait for funds while less enterprising authorities were provided for — not that this seems ultimately to have diminished their lead.
