Biography
Michael Farrell is a widely published private special education consultant. He works with children, families, schools, local authorities, voluntary organisations, universities and government ministries. He has published books extensively with Routledge, with recent titles including The Special Education Handbook: An A–Z Guide (fourth edition) and Debating Special Education.
'The book gave a very good overview of this area of special education. I felt that Michael Farrell touched on all of the key issues in teaching these students and suggested some key strategies for resolving these issues. It could therefore be an excellent springboard for exploring how to effectively teach this cohort of students. I would certainly recommend it to anyone working in the area of general learning difficulties and I think it would be particularly useful to new teachers.' - Patricia Mehigan, Teacher and reviewer for REACH - The Journal of Special Needs Education in Ireland
