DSii Education series - translations
We have been working with other Down syndrome organisations around the world
to translate the DSii Education series.
The introductory book Living with Down syndrome is
available in Arabic and Vietnamese. A further selection of books are
now available in Spanish and Norwegian.
Designed for an international audience
We have designed the Down Syndrome Issues and Information materials to be
as helpful as possible for an international audience.
The Down Syndrome Issues and Information - Education series aims to provide information that can be adapted
and translated to local situations for use around the world. Work on translations
and adaptations started in 2001, in partnership with Down syndrome organisations
around the world.
