Allocations for housing and equipment for minors having speech defects or disorders shall be allowed in new schools constructed after July 1, 1968, and in existing schools constructed between July 1, 1933, and July 1, 1968. The housing and equipment shall be designed and provided to permit their utilization for remedial and other special services including speech therapy, speech reading (lipreading), and auditory training for the speech and hearing handicapped, screening and testing for speech and hearing defects, or both, psychological testing of exceptional children, subject matter tutoring of exceptional children, and other specialized activities required by these children.
