Book Reviews of Babies With Down Syndrome: A New Parent's Guide (The Special-Needs Collection)
Book Review: ONE of the many books you should get
Summary: 4 Stars
While the book is very overwhelming with information, it explains how to deal with the issues. There is ALOT of information in this book, therefore, it should be one of the first books you get. As another reviewer said, the medical problems described are scary - but that's part of down syndrome. Fortunately not all down syndrome children have all the medical problems.
The best part in the book is the developmental charts and growth charts that a lot of doctors, clinics, health units don't have!! It also explains what you need to know for your infant all the way through adulthood. Life insurance, inheritance, wills, family estate financial planning is discussed. Very important issues that will surprise you!
I find the book to be a constant resource. I refer to it constantly.
