'Never give up on her...never give failure too much power, never doubt that your child will somehow find her way, in ways you never expect.' This is the creed Anne Ford lives by, and the hope that she offers for parents of learning-disabled children. Allegra, Ford's daughter, was diagnosed as learning disabled at the age of five. This is not just the story of Allegra, however. It is also the story of Anne, and how the two of them made the journey from the devastating diagnosis to joy, independence, and triumph. As Anne says of her daughter, 'I have learned to have faith in Allegra herself. She had a great deal of help along the way, yes, but it would be a sad mistake not to give credit where credit is due. Her dignity, her resolve, and most of all, her endless optimism have been the keys to her finding a happy and fulfilling life.' With Allegra's encouragement, Anne Ford writes candidly of their struggles, with the hope that their experiences that will help others avoid the pitfalls of denial and misunderstanding that are attached to a diagnosis of LD, that stand in the way of seeking and receiving the help needed. Read by the author. Parents' resurce booklet included. 4 cassettes. 6.5 hours.
