Library Shelf

New Title in the library collection

Educating Children with Down Syndrome: Research, theory and practice with children and adolescents, Rhonda Faragher and Barbara Clarke (eds), Routledge, 2013
While the emphasis is primarily on the school years, links to early intervention and to life post-16 are made, with chapters organized into three parts: conceptual overview of issues in learning and teaching, learning mathematics, and literacy development. 
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. 
Aimed at researchers, teacher educators, higher degree students, and policy makers, this book is the first of its kind to provide a compendium of research on educating learners with Down syndrome. (Publisher's note)
