Summer Sessions students en
rolled in the cerebral palsy work
shop are gaining valuable experi

problems involved in working with
handicapped children. Each of
the ten students enrolled received
$100 scholarships for the Univer
sity course. They receive six
hours of credit for their par
ticipation in the eight-weeks
course.
The summer workshop, made
possible by a $7,900 grant from
the United Cerebral Palsy Asso
ciation, is held in the Park School
of the Lincoln School system
Rooms, equipment and personnel
which are employed during the
regular year have been utilized
for the workshop.
APPROXIMATELY 16 physi
cally handicapped children attend
the school. Most of the children
were members f the school dur
ing the past year or are to be
in classes next year. They are
grouped into older and younger
classes either on the primary or
elementary level. Included in the
classes are children with cerebral
palsy, brain injury, muscular dys
trophy or post polio.
Visiting instructors, Mrs. Maude
Buckingham and Miss Marguerite
Wilson, are-m charge of the acad
emic worx. in addition to in
structing the children in such sub
jects as mathematics, reading and
writing, the visiting instructors
help the University students plan
activities for the children.
CLASS WORK and the various
therapies are arranged so that
each child can have his needs
serviced with as little as possible
conflict in his program. The chil
dren attend classes in the morn
ings and also participate ;n spe
cial sessions with therapists.

reach the various goals of the
course as well as learning what
phases of treatment they cannot
undertake.
