First published in 1986. The teaching of children with severe learning difficulties had received little coherent critical analysis. Long-held assumptions and implicit beliefs were embedded in curriculum content and teaching methodology, thus creating and maintaining handicapping conditions. This book raises questions about underlying value judgments relating to the status and rights afforded to children with severe learning difficulties and the implications for education and teaching. Possibilities for change are discussed in relation to the curriculum, the content of the educational programme and the teacher-pupil relationship.

Oran Uisge - Wildflower Meadow is a collection of mindful nature poems, inspired by time spent on the meadow through the seasons. Each poem is enhanced with a colourful image of a painting or photograph. The poems are written in an evocative way to allow the reader to experience the effects nature has on our senses and mood. The warm breeze touching our skin, the scents from orchids ascending through the air, the song of a skylark overhead, the sight of dark clouds with the threat of Summer rain or the taste of the blackberry harvest. Oran Uisge is a perfect place to lose yourself in nature and in the moment.
