New moves to change the law on teacher training and to improve practice in identifying and assessing special educational needs raise questions about the training of teachers in low incidence disabilities of hearing and visual impairment and severe learning difficulties. Olga Miller, lecturer in hearing impairment at the Institute of Education, London University, who also works for the Royal National Institute for the Blind, and Jill Porter, lecturer in severe learning difficulties at the Institute of Education, believe that answers are urgently needed.
