Pampering Ruins | Afflicted Child, Says Expert | | Little Cripples in Institu- | tion Prove Eagerness to Do Things. | By the Associated Press. CHICAGO., October 26.—Don't pamper a handicapped child, says Mrs. Olive P. Bruner, physiother- | apeutic expert. | She is principal of the Frederick L. | Jahn’s School, one of four public in- stitutions to which youngsters wear- | ing braces, on crutches and in wheel- | cnairs are taken to and from in spe- | cial busses. | “One group out of great sorrow for | the child does too much and the re- | sult, a spoiled child,” Mrs. Bruner | said. Then, there are parents who neglect an afflicted child. Some do so because of a religious belief that an afflicted child is punishment for some sin—and the result, a lonely | embittered child.” | A tour of the school with Mrs. Bruner brought forth smiles. of wel- come from small victims of infantile | paralysis, tubercular bone afflictions and various injuries. “Let the child do things for him- | ‘sclf.” Mrs. Bruner said, but a pale little lad interrupted. “Look. look, what I'm doing,” the | boy, both his legs in braces, exlaimed, at the same time holding up a comic Halloween mask. “I made it all my- | self.” There was pride in his voice. Then there was the case of Johnny, a tall boy of 6. He tried to walk | toward us, but coudn’t take a step. | Not yet master of speech, he mumbled distress which was mirrored in eyes he could not focus. “You can make it, Johnny, but wait & moment,” counseled Mrs. Bruner. A moment’s wait and Johnny found the combination. He lumbered across the room, the last few steps negoti- ated amid strange laughing noises. “The afflicted child wants terribly to do things, to be a part of a group.” said Mrs. Bruner, explaining this is utilized in handling problems of dis- cipline. |PAUL LISTON MARRIED TO NEW YORK SOCIALITE Former Georgetown Athlete, Now | Line Coach at Columbia, i Weds Mrs. Woodward.
