Children with Down syndrome make progress in all areas of development, in the same way as other children, but usually at a slower pace. Some areas of development may be more delayed than others, leading researchers to identify a specific profile of strengths and needs. This video film (available on DVD) explores what our understanding of this profile tells us about how early development can be promoted for babies with Down syndrome from birth to 18 months.

Inclusive education offers great benefits for children with Down syndrome. This unique video film explores how inclusion works in practice. Available on DVD, it presents the keys to effective inclusion through discussions with families, educators and researchers. Issues and practice are illustrated with film of children at work and at play in their schools.
