Abstract

As a student social worker in the Royal Victoria Hospital, the writer became interested in the many problems presented by handicapped children. This interest was later reinforced when she came to know the families of some of these children who were receiving service from the Family Welfare Association of Montreal. Of particular concern to the writer was the behaviour problems presented by these children and the interrelated causes leading to their maladjustment.
