Noel Gregg commented that he would be interested in applications of
Vygotsky's work to special populations. Michael Gerber and I will be
presenting at a round table on "Vygotskian Perspectives on Early Writing
Development: Implications for Students with Learning Disabilities". In
this paper we discuss the writing difficulties of students with LD in
relationship to Vygotsky's view of the "history of sign development" and
his perspectives on the nature of disabilities. An argument will be made
for the necessity of incorporating an approach to writing instruction for
students with LD that augments what has come to be known as the "writing
process approach".
