Hi Katerina--

Yes, it seems as if it would be very helpful to have your article along with
the two
Vygotsky chapters to enrich a discussion on defectology. I wonder what he
would
have thought of entitling a journal on this topic "Special Needs
Education."? Seems
a little counter to his views at first glance.

PS-- Send along the article and we will get it posted asap
