Drs. Chicoine and McGuire provide invaluable insight into what health problems are more common in their patients, and how medical issues can present differently in people with Down syndrome.

As the average person with Down syndrome lives considerably longer than in previous generations, The Guide to Good Health can also help families know what to expect during the aging process.

"Life expectancy for adults with Down syndrome has dramatically increased over the last 100 years. Many people with Down syndrome are now living into their 60's and 70's. Further, there has been a marked social shift in people with Down syndrome no longer living in large impersonal institutions but now living in the community, often within their family homes or independently. Children are becoming literate and adolescents are acquiring professions and hobbies. This integration into society results in a higher quality of life. Many previously published textbooks have reviewed the medical and psychological conditions associated with Down syndrome. This book aims to highlight the more positive aspects of the life of people with Down syndrome. Fruitful examples, such as the Special Olympics, camping, arts, digital literacy and citizenship actions are included. The book presents early childhood interventions, transition of children to adults, experience with PALS programs, the role of positive behavior support and self-directed support, and finally optimal aging. The aim of this book is primarily to educate families, carers and professionals that people with Down syndrome can achieve excellent well-being in physical, mental and spiritual domains. One's ability to maximize their own well-being is a human right which also reduces risks and costs associated with mental illness. We hope this book highlights the importance for children and adults with Down syndrome to be seen as valued citizens of their community and allows their voices to be heard"--

What can the discipline of medical anthropology learn about illness experience and the illness narrative, healing, the clinical encounter, health rights, the social determinants of health, racial inequities in medicine, health as a human right, forms of care, and health justice when we include the perspectives of those with intellectual disabilities in our analysis? Quite a lot, as I argue in this dissertation. Broadly, this dissertation is oriented around an experience-near, existential anthropology that focuses on how individuals experience and negotiate their immediate lifeworlds and relationships in the midst of historical and contemporary structures of inequity. Drawing on the anthropology of moral and ethical experience, the present research departs from the premise that individuals with Down syndrome are capable of conveying their values, opinions, experiences, and sense of what constitutes a good life and that it is possible to use the tools of ethnography to explore such commitments and values. In the first chapter, "Assuming Capacity: Ethical Participatory Research with Adolescents and Adults with Down Syndrome," I detail my research methods and simultaneously make an argument for adapting ethnographic methods using the lens of feminist care ethics. In the second chapter, "'People with Down syndrome, it's hard to speak our mind': Imagining Mental Health and Intellectual Disability," I focus on the lived experience of adults with Down syndrome as they navigate mental health systems and experiences of mental illness. In the third chapter I begin to move outside the clinic and into the broader social and political worlds of participants with Down syndrome and their families. In "The Bureaucratization of Rights, Intellectual Disability, and The Good Life" I argue that human rights discourse in group homes and day programs strips human rights with their potential for justice and instead transforms them into a bureaucratized set of rules and regulations that call on clients and residents with Down syndrome to adopt a neoliberal subjectivity. In the fourth and final chapter I identify and compare different forms of care that I encountered in my fieldwork: research as care, failed care, and disability justice as care. In all, I document how people with Down syndrome pursue what they consider a good life amidst inequitable social structures.

This book promotes a positive message for people with Down syndrome across the world. Living with Down Syndrome is a positive experience for the majority of children and adults with Down syndrome, and for their families. Of course there are difficulties to be faced, but quality of life, from infancy to old age, is determined more by the quality of healthcare, education and social inclusion offered to individuals, than by the developmental difficulties that are associated with Down syndrome. The aim of this book is to bring the latest information on research and good practice to families, practitioners and policy makers in order improve the services available to individuals with Down syndrome in all countries.

The marked increase in life-expectancy in Down syndrome since the 1990s, although a very good sign in itself, raises important questions regarding the health issues, cognitive involution and social and professional inclusion of people with the condition. In this text, a large group of leading specialists have supplied a series of papers on many aspects of this issue, ranging from epidemiology, genetics, medical issues, Alzheimer's disease, cognition and language, to sexual behaviour and contraception, family issues, professional orientation and work experiences. This book should be of interest to physicians, psychologists, social workers and educators working in the field who wish to provide evidence-based interventions for persons with Down syndrome advancing in age.
