8. Historical page
The education of handicapped children in our country is a part of the
state educational system. A few months after the Great October
Socialist Revolution, the state took upon itself the care of handicapped
children.
V.P. Кaschenko was the founder of special education in the post-
revolutionary Russia. He was the first Director of the sanatorium-
school for children with disabilities. The ideas of Kaschenko were put
into practice and a unified network of special schools for abnormal
children was established. By the decree of Sovnarkom of 5 June 1918
this kind of schools were included in the system of public education as
a public institution.
On December 10, 1919 in a decree signed by V.I. Lenin in accordance
with this decision, retarded children were to be cared for and educated
in the so-called auxiliary schools, where blind, deaf and physically
handicapped children were to attend corresponding special schools of
the People’s Commissariat of Education.
10. Prior to entering school all children who
have reached six years of age must have a
thorough medical examination by a team
of specialists at their district children
polyclinics. Children who have serious
defects of vision, hearing or speech are
referred to a special school.
11. We have practice at Auxiliary Special School
№ 23 of Belgorod for blind, deaf and physically
handicapped children.

period to acquire the curriculum

education, while the 1-st division
hard of hearing children
accomplish the program of the
ordinary ten-year secondary
school in 12 years.

15. Nowadays modern computer technologies help deaf children to
hear the sounds of their surroundings at the non - verbal level: the
noise of the street, the singing of birds, the sound of frying eggs,
etc.
16. At present blind children and
those with severely impaired
eyesight receive a complete
secondary education in the course
of 12 years of study.
17. There are different types of practices for future teachers in our educational
establishment such as "Physical Education”, “Communication and game",
"Methodical work", "Correctional pedagogy” and others. They allow the
formation of general and professional competences, which are the basis of
specialist training providing assistance and support to children with disabilities.
