It covers all aspects of Down's syndrome – from diagnosis to adulthood – ensuring that parents receive all the guidance they need to support their child and family.

In straightforward terms, this book looks at what Down’s syndrome is, screening and diagnosis, coping with changes to family life, education and schooling, health conditions, finance, working with professionals and preparing for adulthood.

Down’s Syndrome is the third book in the Need2Know series written by co-authors Antonia Chitty and Victoria Dawson. As they state, 'By reading this book, you can develop your understanding of the condition and, perhaps more importantly, find out about the help available and how to access it.'
