Discusses a pilot study of the roles that social workers in Poland perform as they attempt to assist families whose children have disabilities. Barriers to service provision were examined, as were the cultural, economic and political frameworks in which those services are provided. Results demonstrate the emergence of a dynamic group of workers interested in clarifying the mission of their profession and in educating the public about the services in can provide to families.
