In the process of creating this new presentation, small quantities of images and factual material have been included from other sources for the purpose of display during face-to-face teaching. This guide describes and illustrates more than 100 activities for parents and professionals to practice with infants and children from birth through age six. Checklists and statistics allow readers to track, plan, and maximize a child\'s progress. Why have we chosen this? . Very . simple . we have had a student join us with Down syndrome on a full time placement. This is the first time we have had a full time placement and the last student with Down syndrome left about 11 years ago. .
