In Evans School, exceptional boys and girls associate with typical children, yet have the skilled teachers and special facilities needed to meet their special requirements. Art experiences play an important part in helping them make a creative adjustment to life.

In comparing the methods and techniques of the present-day caseworker with those of the friendly visitor, it can be seen that, with the exception of the use of transference interpretations for the development of insight, the differences are primarily a matter of degree. The basic objectives and goals of social casework have remained those of improving the individual's and family's ability to live more comfortably within society and to improve those conditions of society which create maladjustments and problems in living. As the caseworker's knowledge of human behavior and society has increased, he has a greater awareness of the limitations as well as the differing ways of carrying out these aims. To the extent that his practice has kept pace with his knowledge, he has developed a greater sophistication in the use of his techniques.
