One interesting section discusses alternative and nonconventional therapies for Down Syndrome, the reason for the therapy, and the outcomes and effectiveness of the therapies. The book ends with personal accounts from young adults living with Down Syndrome. The chapters in this book provide a sketch of many important topics regarding Down Syndrome. However, some chapters could benefit from more in depth information. For example, the chapters regarding problem behavior are good introductions to the type of behavior to expect but more concrete behavior management techniques could have been discussed.
Most chapters contain a bibliography, facilitating further reading.
The book is an excellent overview for individuals dealing with Down Syndrome children, however, the book is most beneficial to parents who have a child with Down Syndrome. This book is recommended for any library. Inc. All rights reserved.
