A Special Education

by Dana Buchman with Charlotte Farber

Description

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 wouldn't be enough to deal with Charlotte'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's journey to acceptance and understanding, as well as a family's triumph over daunting circumstances.

Praise for A Special Education:

"This is an extraordinarily engaging, candid, and courageous book. . . . It is essential reading for parents—and for anyone who wants to know more about children's profound influence on their parents."
—James H. Wendorf, Executive Director, National Center for Learning Disabilities

"An intensely personal memoir . . . which should go a long way toward lifting the stigma of learning disabilities."
—Library Journal

"Buchman gives us Charlotte's brave, triumphant story. But the book's surprising gift to readers is the author's candid self-portrait."
—More

"Dana Buchman illuminates the challenges faced by so many mothers and fathers whose children seem out-of-step yet undeniably promising in their wiring!"
—Mel Levine, M.D., author of A Mind at a Time

"Provides parents with a roadmap and a compass for their trek into the world of learning disorders. [Buchman's] hard-earned wisdom will make your journey more manageable; her sensitivity will touch you; her courage will inspire you."
—Richard Lavoie, author of It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend
