The article deals with cooperation and the role of parents in individual original work projects of help which are carried out in the project »The successful integration of children and youth with special needs in raising and education in the period 2008-2011: Background for further development and the implementation of teaching concepts of work problems in elementary school«. Analysis of the process of cooperation and involvement of parents shows how to establish work relationship and collaboration in school and in particular how parents are involved in that relationship. This leads to a new paradigm in the process of education, which primarily requires redefining the dominant roles in the school, which ensures that the process of education, especially school work, takes place mainly in school, in class. The process increases the role of children and parents. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
