The underlying theme of this book is that children with Down syndrome, despite their constitutional anomalies and their additional medical problems, can be understood from a normative developmental framework. The contributions, all of which are based on the latest theories and research, demonstrate that the application of a developmental perspective to the study of young children with Down syndrome sheds light on the universality of ontogenetic sequences, stages, and structures, and highlights the respective roles of biological, perceptual-cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional factors in the developmental process. Finally, it is shown that the application of a developmental perspective will suggest age and stage-appropriate interventions for Down syndrome children and their families. This will be a suitable book for psychologists, psychiatrists, special education teachers, pediatricians, and other medical researchers interested in Down syndrome and mental retardation, as well as graduate students in these areas.

While the struggle for disability rights has transformed secular ethics and public policy, traditional Christian teaching has been slow to account for disability in its theological imagination. Amos Yong crafts both a theology of disability and a theology informed by disability. The result is a Christian theology that not only connects with our present social, medical, and scientific understanding of disability but also one that empowers a set of best practices appropriate to our late modern context.

I Have Down Syndrome and God Made Me Juuuuust Right! 0.86

Announcing Book 2, the much-anticipated sequel to DeAnna Horstmeier's popular and successful first book on teaching essential math used in daily living. TEACHING MATH TO PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND OTHER HANDS-ON LEARNERS, BOOK2: ADVANCED SURVIVAL SKILLS continues with her proven, practical hands-on activities--with the help of games, manipulatives, props, and worksheets--to make learning concrete and more tangible to hands-on learners, including those with Down syndrome, autism, or other cognitive disabilities. All the visual supports and worksheets that make DeAnna's teaching technique so effective are included in the book. Just like Book 1, the follow-up book focuses on survival math--computations and concepts that relate to everyday life and being as independent as possible. Book 2 reviews some of the basics but mostly focuses on more challenging skills that are usually taught in upper elementary, middle school and beyond, such as: Multiplication & Division: Using manipulatives and a calculator; solving word problems; memorizing multiplication facts. Fractions: Practicing fractions through cooking, especially measuring for baking; reading and writing mixed numbers (5 1/4); learning fraction equivalents. Measurement: Measuring to the nearest 1/4 inch; understanding how long a mile is and measurements for temperature, weather, food and units of capacity (cup, pint, quart, gallon). Money: Adding up mixed coins and bills; banking basics (depositing money, writing and cashing checks); tracking spending; budgeting (understanding the difference between discretionary and necessary purchases). Decimals: Writing and reading dollar amounts to the 10ths and 100ths; memorizing percentage and fraction equivalents.
