1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date inacuracies, 22 Feb 2005

By	Mama D x (UK) - See all my reviews

Lots of good advice but bear in mind that this book is written for the American market. About a quarter of the book is legal rights and organisations available to Down syndrome in the US. Also the term 'learning difficulties ' is not used in this book-instead the preferred term is mental retard! Not nice for new parents (i've been there).It does get easier, i promise, but certainly not with any help from this book. I have found more useful advice on the internet for free!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for new parents of children with Down Syndrome, 9 May 1997

By A Customer

It is a frightening thing to find out that your new baby has Down Syndrome. This book will help new parents understand what Down Syndrome is and what they can expect from their new baby. This book discusses DS with compassion and understanding and provides a wealth of information for the new parent. This should be the first book you read.
