Feedback on the charity's early videos

"It was a 'life-changing' experience to see videos of pre-school children with Down syndrome reading, and to realise that, although my daughter could not yet talk properly she would very soon be able to start learning to read." Parent, New Zealand

"This video and the accompanying booklet provide an excellent introduction to the development of language and communication skills in children with Down syndrome...I highly recommend this video tape whenever I speak to teachers and parents." review by the Canadian Down Syndrome Society

Classic videos from the charity

Since the charity's first research project in the early 1980s, we have produced a series of well-received videos to share the practical findings of our research in the UK and around the world.

The charity's ground-breaking videos from the 1980s and 1990s covering the development of reading and language skills in children with Down syndrome are now available on DVD.

Each low price DVD now contains two of the charity's classic videos.
