Abstract

The paper will substantiate the author’s version of the retrospective analysis of the organizing in Ukraine in the 1920s-1930s the first state education system for the special children (the disabled), that is, children with physical or mental problems – blind, deaf, persons with mental or psychoneurotic problems. It is substantiated that for the first time in the history of national education, the state approach to the examination and selection, training, education, socialization or care of such children were legalized. In addition to specialized classes and boarding schools, the system of institutions for special children also included sanatorium schools, clinic schools, and speech therapy courses. During this period of time, a network of research institutions was also created – medical and pedagogical offices (1922), departments at the Ukrainian Research Institute of Pedagogy (1926) and the Ukrainian Psychoneurological Institute (1922), whose researches were engaged in the study of the special children and the development of methods for their rehabilitation training and possible correction of the health state. From the very beginning, the problem of the special children was considered in the unity of the pedagogical and medical aspects.
