Sean McElwee has lived a rich extracurricular life. As a student, he played every sport offered, joined Cub Scouts, attended dances, and even dated a celebrity. Sean, who has Down syndrome, functions according to a combination of the "it's easier to gain forgiveness than permission" principle and the Nike tag line, "Just Do It!" Who's the Slow Learner? Adventures in Independence offers a series of poignant and often hilarious anecdotes about Sean and his parents as they support and facilitate Sean's life skills education at home through extracurricular activities. Follow along as he learns housekeeping skills and money management and moves on through his transition program and community college classes. Sean's antics will keep you smiling, while others may scare you as he exerts his independence-at times without his parents' knowledge or permission. Riding the bus, creative spending sprees, dating, moving into a supported living apartment and back home, and obtaining his first paid job-these stories will both entertain and inspire. In this triumphant sequel to Who's the Slow Learner? A Chronicle of Inclusion and Exclusion, we follow Sean's journey to independent adulthood as his parents give him more freedom and responsibility while learning what he is truly capable of achieving.

A must read for anyone who has fought the bureaucracy of public school education, medical professionals, and government in general. A very funny read. The book lets you know one thing, your not alone in the battle for sanity among insane "professionals".

By Robert G Yokoyama I am amazed by the accomplishments and attitude of Sean McElwee. He can play golf, bowling, basketball, baseball. He even has a black belt in karate. I did not think that a person with Down Syndrome could do that. I have cerebral palsy. I enjoy watching sports and have tried bowling, but my poor eye coordination makes it difficult. Sean had a fear of people in wheelchairs,but being exposed to them has transformed his attitude about them. He has embraced and even dated a young woman in a wheelchair. I just admire his spirit. This book chronicles Sean and his adventures of taking the bus. I can relate to his experiences of getting off at the wrong destination. I really enjoyed reading about Sean and his adventures in dating, Sean inspires me to try to date more girls. Sean even briefly tried living on his. own. I have physical challenges that Sean does not. Still, I think his experience with independent living has motivated me to try it, or at least try to make the family home more wheelchair friendly. Sean McElwee's life experiences inspires me. He has motivated me to strive to improve my living situation, employment situation, and even my social life. Sean McElwee is not afraid to try new things to improve his work skills. He volunteers his time saving cats and works as an aide in his church's Sunday school, I hope to find the time to volunteer and learn new skills like Sean has.

The book is awesome.Wondering what life is like after high school for you child with SN? Then you MUSt read this book! You'll learn the difference between getting a diploma and a certificate of completion, what a transition program is, the importance of volunteering and summer camp as well as the value in attending your specific disabilities conventions. The drama of Sean's girlfriends is worth the read alone, better than anything on MTV! A thoroughly enjoyable read and filled with a LOT of helpful tips.
