Mrs. Reade has been interested in this work since 1940 and is presently tea ching in the Nebraska School for the Deaf in Omaha. She told of the modern treatment of handicapped children with spec ial problems, bringing out the causes and effects of such han dicaps as hard of hearing and speech defects, and the impor tance of proper recognition and correction. Said Mrs. Reade, "Speech is basic to communication. It has been proven we talk 90 per cent more than any other form of communication. Speech i s dependent upon good health, heredity, the kind of mind the individual possesses; control of emotions and environment. Some causes of speech problems are glandular deficiencies; heart conditions and cleftpalates; or ganic disorders, dialects, bad habits and lack of proper paren tal care in dealing with these problems. "The art . of speech production is the most difficult act than an individual does," stated Mrs. Reade. She enum erated six types of speech pro blems - stutterers; lispers; ar ticulatory disorders; cerebral palsy; phasic child and deaf and hard of hearing cases. She said many cases that at first seem hopeless, if taken in time with proper corrective measures can be helped and many times cured. There are 55 schools for speech corection In Nebraska, but only one third of the speech handicapped children are being properly served in Nebraska. The first speech educational bul letin for Nebraska was issued in 1948; much progress, has been made along this line since, but said Mrs. Reade, "there is much yet to be done through research and recognition on the part of a parent, of the value of correct theraphy for speech and hear ing impediments of the child to restore his confidence and build a normal life." The meeting closed with a serving of refreshments in the St. Patrick Day motif by Mes dames Fred Liigsch, W. A. Swat ek, J: E. Catmack, Herman Hen-1 nings," Harry Pein, Gwen Scoles, Louis Bahm and Miss Clara Olson.
