Schools for Emotionally Disturbed Children -- The "600" Schools: A Study of Socio-Cultural Factors Related to School Frustration as They Pertain to the Negro Child, Using Five Cases From the Casework Units of the New York City Board of Education, Bureau of Attendance, 1960 - 1964
Abstract
Background of the Study. Many communities seek to give their children the best possible chance to grow into happy, useful citizens. Yet, all communities know that every group of children suffers from wastage resulting from maladjustment and from failure to develop and use talents. Some of these children grow up to become delinquents and criminals; some become emotionally disturbed and maladjusted adults; and some with unusual talents fail to discover and make use of them. The Board of Education of the City of New York has sought to help boys and girls who fall into this category, by means of a psycho-educational program geared to develop a level of integrated personality, so that they may function more adequately emotionally, academically, vocationally, physically, culturally, and socially. This search has led to a program called the "600" School.
