# We publish our first books

By [Bryce Edwards](/content/author/bryceedwards/index.html)• May 3, 2018

Brookes Publishing makes our official debut with Bender & Bender’s **Disadvantaged Preschool Children: A Source Book for Teachers.** We’re one of the first publishers to develop books that prepare teachers and other professionals to work effectively with children with disabilities.

Another key early title— Burgdorf’s **The Legal Rights of Handicapped Persons—** makes a 1,100-page legal casebook affordable to special educators, empowering them to advocate for the students and families they serve.
