Abstract

The above title has been expressed in rather general terms, as this corresponds to my intentions. My treatment of the different aspects of Soviet policy concerning special education can be explained by the fact that the project was first broached only a few months ago, in the first exchange of letters with the Chairman of the Symposium. I cannot, therefore, at this stage provide precise data to carefully document my research, nor am I able to draw far-reaching conclusions. However, I hope that discussion and exchanges with comparativists from various countries can provide substantial impetus for my further work in this field.
