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.

Informative, easy-to-read book that provides not only a broad overview of DS, coupled with practical advice, but also explains the biological specifics, which I found fascinating. I appreciate Newton's explanations of many of the "whys" behind the physical traits of DS. And I found comfort in knowing that this book was not just written by some doctor who has studied DS but it was authored by a doctor who is also the father of a child with DS. Who better?
