Viac o knihe

Seminar paper from the year 2000 in the subject Pedagogy - Orthopaedagogy and Special Education, 2, University of Cologne, English, In this paper I will reference a total of three books, a newspaper article, and several conversations with the patient B. and his parents. I have chosen the topic of opportunities for development as the focus of my work, because it seems the most important. This paper is a short survey of Down syndrome and will only briefly examine the various aspects thereof. The remarks about B should illustrate that people with Down syndrome also are capable of achievement in their lives. This should be self-evident and normal, but unfortunately in our society today it remains somewhat unique and of an anomaly.
