Can I tell you about Down Syndrome?

Elizabeth Elliott has been a trustee for the Downs Syndrome Research Foundation UK for over 15 years and is their current Chair. She has liaised and worked with professionals and families to explain, lobby for, and educate about DS. She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist based in London, UK.

David, who is 12, has Down Syndrome and tells the story himself, and this gives it an immediacy that is important... David begins by saying 'Don't; forget that I'm just David. Down syndrome is not the biggest part of me!'... Black and white illustrations are a good addition, and there is advice to teachers, to families and to parents. An excellent list of publications, resources and organisations lends a lot of importance to this book. It will be of importance to anyone who knows, teaches, loves or meets someone with DS.
