Rezensionen

'Let there be no doubt: people with Down syndrome can and do continue to learn throughout their lifetimes. This practical book equips teachers and parents with the necessary tools to maximize the potential.'

Dr. Brian Skotko, Emma Campbell Endowed Chair on Down Syndrome, Massachusetts General Hospital & Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School, USA.

'Not only will you be able to read a book that contains the latest information available on inclusive practices in education, but you will also get the perspective of people with Down syndrome, contributors to this book. This is a handbook on inclusion and inclusive education for educators and parents everywhere.'

Dr Claudia Moreira, Scientific Advisor on Down Syndrome Research, Brazil.

'This is a brilliant, much needed resource for both education professionals and parents. It's also great to hear from the learners themselves about what they think worked best for them.'
