Conférence internationale du service social… (1938)
“ Possibly a handicap, such as defective vision or mental inability to keep up with his class, may impel a child to absent himself from school. The case worker who understands emotional conflict or instability and is able to deal with the problem can provide whatever treatment the child may need while she interprets his difficulties to the school and to the child's family. The child may need medical care, psychological treatment, or psychiatric service, to bring about a change of attitude. ”
