    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Special Education
    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Many multiply handicapped children in long-stay hospitals do not attend formal schooling.
    • Educational provisions for these children vary significantly within hospital settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey and evaluate alternative educational arrangements for multiply handicapped children in Scottish hospitals.
    • To compare educational settings (wards vs. schools) for severely handicapped children.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey of educational practices in Scottish hospitals catering to multiply handicapped children.
    • Analysis of teaching time, teacher qualifications, professional support, and classroom suitability.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Severely handicapped children are more likely to be taught in wards than in schools.
    • Ward-taught children receive limited teaching time, have fewer specialized teachers, and lack professional support.
    • Ward environments are often less suitable for education than even inadequate classrooms.
    • No educational benefits were identified for ward-based teaching compared to school-based settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Current educational provisions in hospital wards for multiply handicapped children are suboptimal.
    • There is a need to improve educational quality and access for severely disabled children in long-stay hospitals.
    • Educational settings within hospitals should be re-evaluated to ensure suitability and effectiveness.
