When Thomas Hehir, Ed.D. ’90, began teaching at Harvard, he was struck by the number of disabled students. "I was really interested in finding out how their educational histories led them to Harvard. So I asked: 'How did you get here?'" he said. This later became the book's title, which he and co-author Laura Schifter, Ed.D. ’14, discussed during a recent Ed Portal talk.
