Best Books to Assist a Child with Down Syndrome

As the biological and adoptive mom of two children with Down syndrome, I've read a lot of books on this subject. I created this lens as a way to share my personal book reviews and highlight the books that have truly helped me along my journey. Feel free to leave your own comments about these books.

Math

Pros: As a parent of two children with Down syndrome, I've found this book invaluable. This is the book that will walk you through how to ensure your child has the real life money, time, calendar, calculator and measuring skills that they will need to get through daily life. It is a must have. Cons: Many of the activities in the book for teaching math skills are time consuming to prepare.
 

Fine Motor Skills

This book offers advice to improve fine motor function, as a parent you can document your child's progress by using the checklist in this book. It is likely that your child with Down syndrome will reach all these goals in their own time, but if you want the best professional advice out there to assist you.. then this is your book. It contains info on writing, buttoning, zipping, stringing beads, etc., all the fine motor movements.

Choosing Naia: A Family's Journey
This is a touching story about a families choice to have their child with Down syndrome. It walks you through the emotions, joys and challenges they experience on their journey. It also gives a glimpse into the feelings and interactions with their close family members. I would recommend this to anyone who has a child with Down syndrome.
