Description: Segment 1 Children are seen playing but one little boy cannot join in because he does not have the use of his legs. The narrator explains that he has cerebral palsy. Other children with cerebral palsy are shown, including a young man who is trying to find a job but failing. Wilfred Pickles is seen explaining that people with cerebral palsy (the term 'spastics' is used throughout the film) do not receive much help with specialised education or training. Only a very few have recourse to physiotherapy and special needs education. A young girl is shown having physiotherapy, and children are seen attending a school for people with cerebral palsy.
