Hello,
My name is Nadia (Removed surname) and I have cerebral palsy. I am a masters student at the University of Oxford studying the lives of physically disabled children from 1920 to 1940, specifically examining their identity, representation and agency. 

I am looking for first-hand accounts of children who may have used this organization from this period. I am also interested in advertising material for this organization depicting children with cerebral palsy during this period. 

I appreciate anyone's help and I am glad to be part of the community. 

Nadia

    Hi @Nadia1550
    Scope, then the Spastic's Society didn't come into existence until the early 1950s. There will not be any interactions with children for the time period you are interested in. However, you might want to contact Dr Teresa Hillier who writes the very interesting and informative blog The Hidden History of Cerebral Palsy
