2.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, with dated information, May 6, 2010

This review is from: Keys to Parenting a Child with Down Syndrome (Barron's Parenting Keys) (Paperback)

The publication date on this little book is 1993, which means that this information here is fairly dated. It's not that this is necessarily a terrible book, but Down syndrome reading lists can guide parents and caregivers to more updated info that will be more useful.

The reading list at the back of the book has been rendered useless by newer publications and that new invention, WEBSITES. Woo!

I do recommend this book for the easy to understand second chapter, which provides a quick overview of the genetic anomalies that result in Down syndrome, although possibly an equally easy-yet-thorough explanation may be -- and likely is -- available in a newer book.

is offered in this book. You will find guidance on many important issues. This book will get you started, but you may need to gather more detailed information of importance to you, from other sources. Easy to understand and read. The facts presented are definitely pertinent and necessary to know.
