Girard - " Great book! When I was reading it last night I was amazed at the similarities between my nephew and you. Two days ago he got beaten up at school by some kids, so this will be just the pick-me-up he needs. We will be meeting them in Virginia next week, so I'll give it to him then. In the meantime, my sister and I both thank you for taking the time to write about the best approaches to take. Between you and me his father has not been the most patient with him and perhaps if he reds about the relationship between you and your father it will help the situation."
Girard - "As a father, with a son who has a learning disability, your book made me realize how to treat my son and better understand how to help him. The first two chapters made me cry as I also relived my experiences with my own son. I have mow learned to get out of my chair and sit in his, becoming a better parent. I can now say that I have better understanding of my son."
Girard - " This is the season to be thankful. I want to take this Thanksgiving-time opportunity to express my gratitude to you for coming to speak to the LD students at our school. I am so very grateful to you, as are my students. In our book, you expressed a desire to reach out and help even one person, so they would not lave to go though what you did because of all the misunderstandings that surround learning disabilities. You can be assured that you have already touched and CHANGED many lives." - Elementary School Teacher
Girard - " Thank you for coming to our school. Just like you talked about, I get North and south and right and left mixed up. I get bored easy, too. I'm good at building motors and leggos. I agree with what you sad, everybody has their own gifted area, and mine is sports. I'm also interested in science and social studies. I will like you to come back again." LD student
Product Description
DYSLEXIA MY LIFE - one man's story of his life with a learning disability. In elementary school Girard Sagmiller was diagnosed as mentally retarded by his teacher and school administrators, who recommended that his family institutionalize him. In reality he suffered from dyslexia, which can affect speech, reading, time perception, and can slow learning in some subjects. In his book, DYSLEXIA MY LIFE, Girard Sagmiller discusses his struggles to overcome the ignorance and prejudice of his friends, family and society in general, to succeed in school (getting his MBA), business and life.
