The celebrated designer Dana Buchman knew almost nothing about learning differences when her daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed with disabilities as a toddler. She soon discovered that the hard work and determination that had taken her from the Ivy League to her own fashion label wouldnt be enough to deal with Charlottes disabilities; she would have to acquire a new skill set-to be able to see Charlotte as a person with unique abilities. A moving mother-daughter story, A Special Education is an inspiring account of one mothers journey to acceptance and understanding, as well as a familys triumph over daunting circumstances.
Popular American fashion designer Dana Buchman lives in New York City with her husband and their youngest daughter, Annie. Charlotte Farber, co-author of A Special Education, now attends college in New England.
