  • Description
  • Author Information
Designed for professionals, parents and caregivers, this book looks at all aspects of living with Down syndrome. It focuses on real people and their lives, featuring the words of adolescents and adults with Down syndrome and of their families. Case studies are used to illustrate the range of family experiences, both positive and stressful, at different stages.


The book follows the development of children with Down syndrome from infancy through childhood to adolescence and adulthood, considering physical, behavioural, cognitive and social aspects. It explores the educational needs of individuals across the lifespan, and includes a substantial chapter on Down syndrome in adult life, covering leaving home, work, friends, finance, sexual relationships, and playing a part in the community.

The book concludes by looking towards the future; at the challenges for the research and service agenda, at the impact of new technology on information and training, and at the development of resources on an international scale.
