Educating children with Down syndrome at primary school
Feedback
"This DVD is a must for any school who wishes to address the
subject of integration. I only wish it had been available when the first
child with Down syndrome was introduced into our school...an essential
resource." Teacher, UK
"Having watched this DVD, a teacher can't say no one told them what
to look out for, and a parent will feel well armed."

"We watched it and then gave it straight to our son's school so that
they can immediately start implementing all aspects of the DVD."
Parent, UK
"For those viewers that are new to the idea of inclusion in
mainstream school, the implications, practice and theory are
clearly laid out, and for those that are already including
children, the footage and experience of the teachers, SENCOs,
support assistants and parents are invaluable." Bob Black, Education Officer for the Down's Syndrome
Association
"I sincerely hope that parents will recommend this film to their
schools, and that the schools in turn are inspired by it…an excellent
film that examines the wide range of issues relating to children with
Down syndrome when discussing successful inclusion."
