Summary
Details

This is the book I'd want to read if I had has a child with Down syndrome. It's the book I'd recommend to parents who already have a child with Down syndrome, or for who prenatal testing has indicated Down syndrome, and they are wondering what on earth the future holds. As a scientist working in the area of child health, I would also recommend it to all those people - teachers, health professionals including doctors, and policy makers - who work with people with disabilities or who make the decisions which affect them.

Professor Fiona Stanley AC, atron, Down Syndrome Association of Western Australia

A lot of books on Down syndrome cross my path, but I started reading this one and couldn't stop. Jan Gothard's fascinating, wide-ranging research opens a window onto families' lives and show us, dramatically, just why we can have greater expectations for people with Down syndrome in the twenty-first century.
