Abstract

Disadvantaged is a relative term. When we speak of a child as being socially disadvantaged we mean that he does not have the same chances relative to some other child for some kind of a social life. The disadvantaged child is one who is handicapped in the task of growing up to lead a competent and satisfying life in the American society. Besides socially disadvantaged, other terms are: culturally deprived, culturally distinct, inner-city child, slum dweller, minority pupil, ghetto youth, educationally deficient, undereducated and underachiever.
