Abstract
Until recently, when a child was referred to as a Problem Child, immediately the thought came to mind, a discipline case; an incorrigible; a perverse or maladjusted child. However, educators of today use interchangeably the three terms, problem, atypical or handicapped, to describe children who are crippled physically or mentally, or who are socially maladjusted, it is in this newer and broader sense that the term problem is used throughout this thesis.
