Down's Syndrome - The Essential Guide Expert/Press Reviews

I found the emotional rollercoaster diagram within the book an excellent explanation of emotions that you go through.  This book gives the facts good and bad and possibilities of the years ahead. It also talks about the decisions you may decide upon whilst pregnant. I actually felt this book would be a fantastic book for grandparents as The Essential Guide is written as an understandable lay persona offering the reader a greater understanding in small sections. The book is factual and friendly making sure the reader is informed.  The directory then will refer the reader for more information to let them know they are not alone. Totz2teens.co.uk
