Greater Expectations: Living with Down Syndrome in the 21st Century by Jan Gothard
Based on more than 60 personal interviews and supported by scholarly research, this book shows the varied attitudes and approaches that make up the rich experience of living with disability in a changing society. Covering Down syndrome from conception to old age, this historical analysis touches upon a variety of themes, including education, friendship, health, recreation, sexuality, employment, and independence. This moving, partly autobiographical account is a must read for all parents, teachers, health professionals, and policy makers who make choices that affect people with disabilities.
Jan Gothard is a senior lecturer in history in the School of Social Inquiry at Murdoch University in Western Australia.
