>>IN REGARD TO MY POINT #5 ON VYGOTSKY:
>CULTURAL LEARNINGIS USUALLY TRANSMITTED THROUGH(1) ADULT-CHILD
>INTERACTION(OFTEN TRANSLATED AS 'INTERCOURSE').DAS HAS ADDED TO THIS(2) THE
>SOURCES FROM BOOKS,AUTHORITIES AND NOW COMPUTER DATA BASE(KNOWLEDGE-BASE).
>I(DAS) THINK THE DISABLED CHILD IS DISADVANTAGED IN REGARD TO
>BOTH.ADULT-CHILD INTERACTIONS ARE NOT OF AS HIGH A QUALITY WITH DISABLED
>CHILDREN COMPARED TO NONDISABLED CHILDREN AND THE MENTALLY DISABLED OR
>ABNORMAL CHILDREN CANNOT USE THE DATA-BASE AS WELL AS OTHERS.
>INFACT,COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IS NATURALLY OCCURRING IN NONDISABLED 'NORMAL'
>CHILDREN STIMULATED BY CULTURAL LEARNING. SINCE THE DISABLED MISS OUT ON
>CULTURAL LEARNING,THEY HAVE TO BE TAUGHT DELIBERATELY.
>THERE MAY BE OTHER INTERPRETATIONS THAT DO NOT APPEAR TO ME TO BE OBVIOUS
>AT PRESENT.

>>>Thus, what have we learned from the Vygotsirian epistemology of

>>>
>>>1. Disability, a negative term, can be transformed to a positive
>>>one that will enable us to examine the unique and creative ways
>>>in which the so-called disabled child develops.
>>>
>>>2. The development of the disabled child is thus qualitatively
>>>different, rather than slow or inferior in a quantitative
>>>matrix.
>>>
>>> 3. With the help of appropriate social supports, disabled
>>>children will have one less obstacle to overcome, which is low
>>>self-esteem and inferiority complex.
>>>
>>>4. Intellectual abilities are diverse and heterogeneous in both
>>>so-called disabled and normal children, and their development
>>>proceeds in unique ways in the context of their sociocultural
>>>milieu.
>>>
>>>5. Whereas in most nondisabled children intellectual development
>>>and the development of cultural learning converge, in most
>>>so-called disabled children, they do not. <In a prior passage
>>>the statement was made that cultural learning is instructed
>>>learning.>
