About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Anne Ford's previous books are the acclaimed memoir Laughing Allegra, about raising her severely learning-disabled daughter, and On Their Own: Creating an Independent Future for Your Adult Child with Learning Disabilities and ADHD. She served as Chairman of the Board of the National Center for Learning Disabilities from 1989 to 2001. The daughter of Henry Ford II, she lives in New York City and lectures widely on LD and ADHD issues.
Anne Ford is an admirable woman. As a single mother, she negotiated herself and her disabled daughter through life. Thirty years ago there was little knowledge and even less support for children with learning disabilities, which were perceived by many as imaginary. Ford's struggles were real, and her voice communicates her frustration and tears over her family's broken dreams. Her near hysteria over her child's future in her early years comes across well in her reading. Exhaustively thorough about every aspect of parenting a child with a learning disability, this tape is highly recommended for any relative or teacher of such a child and will strongly increase empathy.
