"This book explains why Australian governments are doing nothing for marginalised light sensitive learners. Government inaction is explored via policymaking theories and contrasted with a case study of active policymaking in a NSW high school which resulted in improved academic results. This book exposes inequity and provides a warrant for action.

A must-read for: -

policy scholars who want to detect and understand policy inaction. educators who want to support Light Sensitive Learners. lighting designers who want to reduce the negative impacts of artificial lighting. lawyers who want to understand the original intent and importance of the clause ""learning differently"" in the Disability Discrimination Act. parents who want to know ""who's to blame""?"

"Dr.W E. Johnson, as parent and teacher, negotiated inclusion of the term ""learning differently"" in the Australian Disability Discrimination Act 1992. She was instrumental in developing a policy and delivering a pilot program for light sensitive learners at a NSW high school. Dr. Johnson, an expert regarding policy inaction for people with light sensitivity, is driven to address injustice in the education sector. Her advocacy continues unabated. Prior research, ""Mergers in Tertiary Education: an Aspect of Policy Making"", was published as an Australian Political Science Association Monograph."
