This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And we're testing your son for Down syndrome..." From the moment Kathy heard the doctor's casual comment, her life was thrust into the reality of having a special needs child. This is her family's story of having a son Matthew born with Down syndrome. The fact that she was a special education teacher did not prepare her for the challenges the family would face. Nor the joy that could reside alongside the struggles. Matt's story reveals the unique trials of Down syndrome. And alongside it, the treasure of relationships, working, dating-all the normal and sweet things of life. You'll discover how Matt taught everyone around him to see through the eyes of unconditional love. Many lives were blessed with the birth of Matt and yours will be too. The book also provides references and resources for the reader. Kathy Woodard Jutte, an Indiana native, graduated from Dunkirk High School and Ball State University with her BS and MA degrees in Education. She also obtained her special education degree in K-12. Kathy taught 35 years in Ohio and has retired after 37 years of teaching. Her dream was always to write a book about raising a child/young adult with Down syndrome and her passion is helping parents live the joyful life alongside the diagnosis.
Book Synopsis Choosing Down Syndrome by : Chris Kaposy
Download or read book Choosing Down Syndrome written by Chris Kaposy and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that more people should have children with Down syndrome, written from a pro-choice, disability-positive perspective. The rate at which parents choose to terminate a pregnancy when prenatal tests indicate that the fetus has Down syndrome is between 60 and 90 percent. In Choosing Down Syndrome, Chris Kaposy offers a carefully reasoned ethical argument in favor of choosing to have such a child. Arguing from a pro-choice, disability-positive perspective, Kaposy makes the case that there is a common social bias against cognitive disability that influences decisions about prenatal testing and terminating pregnancies, and that more people should resist this bias by having children with Down syndrome. Drawing on accounts by parents of children with Down syndrome, and arguing for their objectivity, Kaposy finds that these parents see themselves and their families as having benefitted from having a child with Down syndrome. To counter those who might characterize these accounts as based on self-deception or expressing adaptive preference, Kaposy cites supporting evidence, including divorce rates and observational studies showing that families including children with Down syndrome typically function well. Himself the father of a child with Down syndrome, Kaposy argues that cognitive disability associated with Down syndrome does not lead to diminished well-being. He argues further that parental expectations are influenced by neoliberal ideologies that unduly focus on the supposed diminished economic potential of a person with Down syndrome. Kaposy does not advocate restricting access to abortion or prenatal testing for Down syndrome, and he does not argue that it is ethically mandatory in all cases to give birth to a child with Down syndrome. People should be free to make important decisions based on their values. Kaposy's argument shows that it may be consistent with their values to welcome a child with Down syndrome into the family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American Dream is the fundamental story of this country, and my life is a grateful reflection of its reality." When Rosario was fourteen years old she moved from Mexico to California with no grasp of the English language and few resources. She has since become a trailblazer in every sense: from becoming the first in her family to graduate from college to having her signature appear on the U.S. dollar bill as the treasurer of the United States, and the first Latina in California to run for the U.S. Senate. Leading Between Two Worlds is the story of this incredible journey. Rosario exposes her most personal secrets and impressive achievements as she divulges what she has sacrificed and what she has gained in politics. She takes us through a deeply felt betrayal, her struggle through depression, the creation of her family, her devotion to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities, and her joyous return to Mexico. Rosario's story is the story of every immigrant who -- in the face of unbelievable adversity -- seeks to make it in the United States. Her journey is one of tragedy and triumph, one from which readers will draw inspiration.
