"This handbook, full of checklists and planning guides, provides a comprehensive manual for accessing the whole range of Speech and Language services for children with Down syndrome. The value of inclusive educational settings becomes clear, as we appreciate the various ways that this program can provide outstanding opportunities for our children. I especially like the chapters on The Language of the Hidden Curriculum, Social Interactive Communication, and Augmentative and Alternative Means of Communication."
