"Michael Farrell has created a text that is of value to students,
teachers and other professionals who want a quality, in-depth view
of the legal, social, medical, developmental and behavioural
aspects in special education today. It would be excellent as a
background text or reference text for both undergraduate and
graduate courses in special education and related areas."

"Michael Farrell has written a learned and useful introduction
about the foundations of Special Education. Importantly, the book
considers the social and political factors underpinning special
educational practices, as well as the variety of individual
characteristics that must be taken into account in order to provide
effective and fair educational practices."
