Abstract. In this article, certain relations are established between the editor-defectologist and the doctor during their joint activity. They are based on general positions in the examination, treatment and medical-pedagogical correction of specific developmental deviations. This relationship should be business related and in the best interests of the patient. It is important that the doctor and the pedagogue-defectologist understand each other and act in full agreement. In this case, the opinions and general conclusions of the author are given that they are more useful to the patient.
