Down Syndrome
Edited by Cohen/Nadel/Madnick
This book will be of great interest to anyone
wanting to have the latest information about this genetic disorder. The
contributors - and the list is very impressive - all work in America but
most of what is looked at in detail will apply to the UK as well.
It begins with a chapter by
Thomas Nerney. He says in an upbeat way ‘the new century offers the
possibility of unparalleled opportunities for individuals with Down
Syndrome,' but goes on to say that budgets and finance can still get
in the way of funding the latest resources.
This is not a ‘how to’ or
‘self-help’ book, but a serious and comprehensive survey of the
clinical, educational, developmental, psycho-social issues relevant to
people with Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome covers issues of
sexuality, inclusion transition to adulthood and will be of great
interest, and help, to parents, professionals and for men and women with
Down Syndrome.
