Disabled, Social Services & Welfare 

Attention to spiritual well-being is as important as care for the emotional, intellectual, physical and social aspects of life. This book is based on the concept of spiritual well-being as an integral, essential part of the everyday life of the whole person; it is not an optional extra, a fairy tale, an academic extra or a nuisance. Every individual, irrespective of intellectual or physical ability, race, religion, or any other attribute, has the right to respect for and nurture of spiritual well-being. Failure to ensure this may cause impairment of the whole life development and experience. Some material is drawn from religious traditions but belief in spirituality is by no means confined to religious belief and observance. The purpose of the book is to alert readers to spiritual aspects of the lives of people with Down syndrome whom they know, whether within the family, community, or professional practice. - from Amzon
