This one-stop resource, the first of its kind, will greatly benefit families whose child is already diagnosed, and also those who suspect something more than Down syndrome. Professionals too will find information on how to distinguish DS-ASD from a diagnosis of just Down syndrome, and guidance on providing services for children and adults. The editors and authors are seasoned parents, advocates, doctors, dentists, psychologists, behavior analysts, nurses, educators, and financial planners. They share their experiences and expertise on the following topics: diagnosis; emotional adjustment and support; genetics; medical concerns; when Autism is suspected for teens and adults with DS; oral health; behavioral treatments for sleep problems; care coordination; addressing problem behaviors; designing educational programs; multicultural challenges; and life planning.
