The Education of Children with Severe Learning Difficulties
First published in 1986. Aimed at teachers, students and related professions this book serves to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of educating pupils with severe learning difficulties. In the light of the 1981 Education Act it is crucial to identify, and subsequently meet, the needs of these pupils.

Deaf Children, Their Families and Professionals
First Published in 1996. The study makes an important contribution to newly emerging participative research methodologies in that it places the parents' view of the world at the centre of the analysis and in so doing, articulates the kinds of changes they think are necessary to improve the quality of life for their families and themselves. Due to an application of a social model, the book is important not just to families with deaf children and the professionals who work with them but to anyone who has an interest in disability issues.
Education Tomorrow
This book aims to provoke and facilitate debate on the issues facing educators in the UK. It brings together a range of authors with a wide experience of schooling. Editor Ian Lawrence sets the tone by asking what has been learned in the last 50 years. Other key issues discussed include: the professionalization of teaching; the transition from school to work; the changing nature and structure of UK primary schools; management training as part of teacher professionalism; the future for special educational needs; collaboration between schools; the need for a radical reappraisal of science and technology provision; the reality of parental choice; and the influence of Europe. In the final chapter, Lawrence asks another question: Education in the UK - obituary or rebirth?
