Downs Children English 2023

This is the story of enduring love, sad and happy times with Roland, his parents Robert and Pat, their families, close friends and many people in various care-related organisations. Their combined efforts contributed significantly to the challenging task of raising a Downs Syndrome child all the way from birth into a surprisingly independent adult. Robert offers information about the organisations that helped Roland, and sources of guidance about caring for children and young people with Downs Syndrome. He shows that having a child with such problems isn't always easy, but neither is it the end of the world. This book would be useful to anyone who works with Downs children and adults, or to families who find themselves in the same position that Robert and Pat were in after Roland was born.
