Customer Reviews

understanding down syndrome

I really like this book. I have a child with down syndrome. This was a warmer book and was not as clinical as most of the the other books I've read. I put it in gift baskets for new moms that contact me who have recently had a child with down syndrome.

An excellent second book

This book is an excellent introduction to Down syndrome. The author of this book is British so it does not concentrate on US law as much as the book "Babies With Down Syndrome". This is the book to read after you have had a chance to catch your breath and are ready to learn some of the practical issues of raising a child with DS.

Understanding Down syndrome

I recently did a presentation for my biology class on Down syndrome. I found this book to be very helpful. It was very informative and offered much information. Some information of which was not found in other sources. This book offers a lot of information on Down syndrome, as well as what to expect from an individual with Down sydrome and how to care for them.
