This book is a unique and detailed snapshot of the first years of schooling for a child with Down's Syndrome. Written by her classroom assistants, the book shows how inclusion can be a success not only for the child and family but also for the

'A most useful resource for both teachers and learning support assistants in mainstream schools.. inspirational.' - Down's Syndrome Association

'Inspiring and helpful to any parent starting their child in mainstream schooling, and any teachers worried about taking the first steps.' - Pat Dolan, special parent, Stockport

'This book should be in all school staffrooms. It is a practical guide to the successful inclusion of children with significant needs and it should make a major contribution by encouraging schools to include all children.' - Times Educational Supplement

'This is a delightful, practical account of the integration of a young child with Down's Syndrome into a mainstream infant school. It shows how positive the experience can be for everyone involved when there is a good level of support from the education authority, school and the family. It is a powerful argument for finding the money to pay for proper support for children with special needs. When I am teaching a child with Down's Syndrome I will certainly go back to this book for ideas and advice. I am impatient to follow Hannah through the next stage of her education. Can we have the sequel please?' - Lise Bosher, Viewpoint

The conversational style of the book makes it easy reading that would appeal to families, teachers and teacher's aides alike. - Diane Doehring, New Zealand Down Syndrome News
