His many books on special education, which are translated into European and Asian languages, include: \u003ci\u003eEducating Special Children: An Introduction to Provision for Pupils with Disabilities and Disorders\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) and \u003ci\u003eThe Special Education Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e (fourth edition) (2009).     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoundations of Special Education\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to the disciplines and perspectives that underpin and inform modern-day special education, particularly of pupils aged five through sixteen years. It illustrates the wide-ranging contributions of these fields, and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary special education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book aims to stimulate a reconsideration of training and support for special educators and others by indicating the complexity of the field. It seeks to encourage multi-disciplinary perspectives and work practices by outlining the sheer range of disciplines involved in the modern-day field of special education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe disciplines and perspectives covered include legal, medical, social, cognitive, neuropsychological, psycholinguistic, and pedagogical. Main types of disorder and disability are considered from these perspectives, including cognitive impairment, anxiety and depressive disorders, autism, reading disorder, hearing and visual impairment, and disruptive behaviour disorders.    \"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eProfessor Lisa Schoenbrodt\u003c\/b\u003e, Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Loyola College in Maryland, USA  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Michael Farrell has written a learned and useful introduction about the foundations of Special Education.
