| NZ Review |
I hope this book will be widely read. Special education needs greater understanding, and Michael Farrell's book will do much to help people understand what special education is and why we must have it. - James M. Kauffman, Professor Emeritus of Education, University of Virginia, USA This is an original text addressing a much needed topic. The book may ... become a seminal text in the field of special education - Garry Hornby, Professor of Education, University of Canterbury, New Zealand His courage to challenge the popular interpretation of disability as a social construct is very well placed for the stage of debate we have reached in the UK, particularly the government's mainstreaming agenda. A unique and a particularly valuable addition to the national SEN discussion - Richard Aird, Headteacher, UK |
