The celebrated designer Dana Buchman knew almost nothing about &#147;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 wouldn&#39;t be enough to deal with Charlotte&#39;s 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 mother&#39;s journey to acceptance and understanding, as well as a family&#39;s triumph over daunting circumstances.
