Don't let it get you Down syndrome
Description: - 1 volume : illustratins ; 21 cm
- "Jamie has Down’s syndrome, autistic spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He is a beautiful, charming and lovable little boy, but he is also - how can we put this? - an exceptionally “challenging” child.
In this hilarious, heart-warming and unforgettable memoir, Jamie's long-suffering dad shares a selection of side-splitting and occasionally poignant stories from Jamie’s chaotic childhood. Find out why he can never go back to his local library, and why the staff at his local swimming pool flinch whenever he arrives.
The author also offers his own witty take on all sorts of topics connected to the subject of disability, and parenthood in general. This book will be adored by anyone who has ever known someone with special needs, or has ever been a parent, or indeed, anyone who enjoys reading well-written and interesting comic memoirs." - BOOK JACKET

Downs : the history of a disability / David Wright. - http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=37937
Description: - xiii, 239 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 21 cm
- For 150 years, Down's Syndrome has constituted the archetypal mental disability, easily recognizable by distinct facial anomalies and physical stigmata. This book looks at the care and treatment of Down's sufferers from Medieval Europe to the present day. In a narrow medical sense, Down's syndrome is a common disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome. It is named after John Langdon-Down, the British asylum medical superintendent who described the syndrome as Mongolism in a series of lectures in 1866. In 1959, the disorder was identified as a chromosome 21 trisomy by the French pediatrician and geneticist Jerome Lejeune and has since been known as Down's Syndrome (in the English-speaking world) or Trisomy 21 (in many European countries). But children and adults born with this chromosomal abnormality have an important collective history beyond their evident importance to the history of medical science. Here the author looks at the care and treatment of Down's sufferer, described for much of history as 'idiots', from Medieval Europe to the present day. The discovery of the genetic basis of the condition and the profound changes in attitudes, care, and early identification of Down's in the genetic era, reflects the fascinating medical and social history of the disorder.

Life as Jamie knows it : an exceptional child grows up / Michael Berube. - "The story of Jamie Berube's journey to adulthood and a meditation on disability in American life Published in 1996, Life as We Know It introduced Jamie Berube to the world as a sweet, bright, gregarious little boy who loves the Beatles, pizza, and making lists. At four, he is like many young people his age, but his Down syndrome leads most people to see him only in terms of his disability. Twenty years later, Jamie is no longer little, though he still loves the Beatles, pizza, and making lists. In Life as Jamie Knows It, Michael Berube chronicles his son's growth and his growing love of the world, writing as both a disability studies scholar and as a father. He follows Jamie through the transitions within his family and home life, through his school years, through the complicated process of entering the workforce with a disability. In a book that joins stirring memoir and sharp philosophical inquiry, Berube guides us through the labyrinth of ethical issues surrounding how we approach disability and uses Jamie's story to argue for a deeper understanding of disability that challenges us to move toward a more just, more inclusive society"--

Edition: First edition.
Description: - xii, 138 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
- This book examines how the brain of a person with Down syndrome works, how those differences impact behavior, and why bad behavior should not be viewed as a willful act.

Be proactive, not reactive
Be consistent
Use visual schedules & Social Stories to direct behavior
Develop a token reward chart
Keep gut reactions in check
Teach siblings to ignore bad behavior
Learn effective disciplinary techniques
Know when professional help is needed
Some of these parenting concepts are intuitive, others are not, but when they are followed consistently, children and teens with Down syndrome do their best behaviorally and the parent-child relationship remains as positive and loving as it should be." - PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE

Trisomy 21 what we can learn from people with Down syndrome ; 2,000 people and their neuropsychological findings / Andre Frank Zimpel ; with contributions from: Kim Lena Hurtig-Bohn, Angela Kalmutzke, Torben Rieckmann, Alfred Christoph Rohm
Description: - 212 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
- For a long time, it was assumed that a genetic disposition such as trisomy 21 enables predictions to be made about overall personality development. But who could have ever imagines that people with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) would also be capable of earning a university degree? We have examined 1.294 people with trisomy 21. The results showed that people with trisomy 21 benefit more from abstract learning than their neurotypical counterparts and two-year-olds with the syndrome learn first to read and only then to speak - and they understand algebra better than arithmetic. Ignorance of neurodiversity inevitably leads to learning difficulties when learning at the same pace as others. This applies to autism and trisomy 21 to the same extent. That's why this book advocates the recognition of trisomy 21 as a variant in the spectrum of human neurodiversity.
