This book guides parents from the birth of their Down's Syndrome child to his or her adulthood. It addresses the problems that any parent of a normal child faces, with detailed suggestions for how to teach a child who does not conquer these developmental obstacles easily. This approach stems from the author's philosophy about Down's Syndrome, which is that these children develop normally but slowly, and that good intervention by parents facilitates this process. Given this bias, there is perhaps a paucity of information about the differences parents might expect to find between their Down's Syndrome child and normal children. The emphasis of the book is on step-by-step daily living skills and on coping skills within the family and community. There are also useful discussions of educational and legal rights, alternatives for adult living arrangements, and sources of financial assistance.
