Educating Learners With Down Syndrome : Research Theory And Practice With Children And Adolescents
Paperback Edition: 1/2013
For individuals with Down syndrome, the extent of the effect of intellectual disability depends largely on the degree of provision of appropriate support and intervention. In Educating Learners with Down Syndrome, editors Rhonda Faragher and Barbara Clarke have brought together a number of expert contributors,

The book is also united by the cohesive themes of assessment, evidence-based practice and inclusive practices Educating Learners with Down Syndrome importantly incorporates the voices of individuals with Down syndrome, whose personal narratives add significance to the research mission of the text and demonstrate the authors' inclusive philosophy.
