Disappointed 23 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
I don't feel this booke matched its title.
I bought the 2004 edition and boy is an update required.
Its very old fashioned with too much emphasis on the science and not enough on the "how tos". Nutrition early intervention, development issues were so poor that i was disgusted with it.
9 months into the journey with only my life experience i could have written a better book ..............
.......can anyone recommend a good handbook???

Don't bother to buy this hold your cash.

What could be better than the stated aim of this handbook, ‘This book will assist each person in their attempt to provide encouragement and opportunity for babies, children and adults with Down’s Syndrome to flourish and reach their full potential.’ This book just does that.
