Describes Project Breakthrough an experimental attempt to provide an appropriate public education for all children without the disadvantages and restrictions of special education in the USA. The program provides services in the mainstream using the regular education initiative without categorising children. Special and regular education teachers and support staff, including school social workers , collaborate to help students based on need rather then on whether they qualify under special education guidelines . This model is congruous with social work values of providing service to all and uses social work methods, including the systems approach.
