2013 has been a big year for discussion about and resources for teaching people with Down syndrome to read. This is a new program from a long-respected teacher and writer in the field:
Reading About Me! was developed by the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Oregon Patricia Oelwein, author of Teaching Reading to Children with Down Syndrome and co-author of Literacy Skill Development for Students with Special Learning Needs: A Strength-Based Approach, in order to provide individuals who have not typically been successful readers in school a chance to show that many can successfully learn to read.
A new edition to look out for
The very popular Gross Motor Skills for Children with Down Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals, by Patricia Winders is being re-edited, for an expected December release by Woodbine House.
Note to Australian readers: Although Woodbine House does not accept online orders from Australia, they are releasing many of their titles as e-books, as well as in print, and print editions of their titles are readily available from other booksellers.
