DIRECT CASEWORK SERVICE AS A PART OF CONSULTATION AND REFERRAL IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY A Study of 20 Cases at the Bureau of Handicapped Children, New York City Department of Health, 1954-1955
Abstract
The aims of community services for children have grown out of the belief that the development of healthy bodies and personalities will bring about personal satisfactions and maintain our democratic society in a healthy state. In helping the handicapped child to reach this goal, community services have slowly and steadily increased until today we find the handicapped child and his family assisted in achieving the best possible adjustment towards attainment of physical, emotional, social and economic well-being.One of the hopes of the Mid-Century White House Conference of 1952 was to further a healthy personality development of children with severe mental and physical limitations.
