Living with Epilepsy
Living with Down's Syndrome
The 'Living with' series has a particular strength: we meet real children and adults coping with their disabilities. Each book gives clear explanations as to the medical aspects of the problem, explains tests and medication, and shows how it affects everyday life. There is much emphasis on the ordinary lives people live, with mention in Down's Syndrome that some special support may be needed. Colour photographs, diagrams, a section on helpful organisations, a glossary and an index add to the usefulness of the books.
