Really recommended for parents once they have gotten used to the fact their child has Down's Syndrome. (3 months or so). I wish we had seen this earlier and this has lots of info presented in a short period of time. Many thanks

Great DVD that I feel would be extremely valuable for all families to view: perhaps not immediately but once the initial 'grieving' period is over [Parent review in New Zealand Down Syndrome News, 20 2004]

..consists mostly of professionals and parents sitting in a chair and talking about Down syndrome. I think the amount of information which is on this DVD would be overwhelming for a new parent, it may be something that needs to be watched and reviewed several times over the 18mths as your child develops [Parent review in New Zealand Down Syndrome News, 20 2004]

Would love to have had this DVD earlier. Very practical and great overview of what to expect/prepare for. Also extremely positive about the benefits of a child with Down Syndrom in family life.

I found this tape very interesting & as everything is explained so clearly it's especially good for those of us with very little knowledge of Down Syndrome it's also good to know about the research that has been done & that there is so much help & support available.
