An excellent practical book which follows the developmental sequence in acquisition of gross motor skills and discusses the effects of physical and medical conditions that are associated with Down's syndrome, as well as the impact of temperament on acquiring these skills. The book is very clear and easy to read, with lots of illustrative photos, activities and practical ideas. A very useful tool for professionals in planning developmental programs, and particularly for parents to help them promote their childs physical development at home.
