Product Description

Product Description
Combining medical knowledge with sympathetic common sense, this comprehensive handbook offers help and advice to all parents and carers of children with Down's Syndrome, and shows them how to help their children flourish and reach their full potential. Written in association with the Down's Syndrome Association, this book goes beyond the average introduction to Down's Syndrome and addresses the questions, practical or otherwise, that parents will often find themselves asking, and also offers information and advice on a wide variety of related issues, including: current medical knowledge about the condition; advice on the special care of babies and young children; education and training; emotional and sexual development; and, integration into society.

From the Publisher
A comprehensive guide that has been written in association with the Down’s Syndrome Association.

5.0 out of 5 stars a veryuseful and comprehensive book for parents and carers., 12 May 2004
By Jill Curtis "jillcurtis3" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 23 Sep 2008
By C. Gibbons - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
