I looked at my source again and it seems I misremembered - it wasn't that the progress for the disabled was all reversed, it was that one of the pioneers in the field of special education (I. A. Sokolyansky) was arrested in the Great Purge and his school was shut down, but when he was released in 1940 he was able to go to Moscow and get a new job doing the same thing at a different university so clearly it wasn't a universal thing.
