Description

Since their initial shock at their daughter's disability, Karina's parents have experienced the challenges and joys of raising a child with special needs. Gun Dolva and Rodney Potter have taken advantage of available services and programmes - and their own imaginations - to devise stimulating activities to assist her to develop to her full potential. They aim to provide her with every opportunity to fully participate in the community. This is the account of Karina's first six years, as told by Cheryl Rogers. It aims to be a valuable resource for the families of Down Syndrome children, teachers and disability service workers.
