Down Syndrome in Practice
Practical and informative films for parents and professionals
caring for individuals with Down syndrome
The Down Syndrome in Practice range of films offer expert
information and demonstrate practical activities to promote the development and
education of children with Down syndrome.
They are based on the latest research evidence and the charity's extensive hands-on
experience working with children with Down syndrome for nearly three decades.
The films are designed to be helpful for families and for education and health professionals
supporting children with Down syndrome.
