Book Overview

by Deon L. Butler (Author), Tenita Johnson (Editor)

For students of all ages with learning disabilities, the effects can be debilitating in and outside the classroom. From lack of confidence and low self-esteem to anxiety and apprehension when communicating with others, children and adults can struggle to fit in and find themselves in a life of pretending to be something they are not ... until they can no longer pretend.

In his debut book, The Gift & Curse: One Man's Journey with Dyslexia, Deon L. Butler chronicles his life story of poverty, trauma and undiagnosed dyslexia-which ultimately cost him an NFL contract with the Detroit Lions. Using sports to get his education, and in turn using education to empower himself and others, Butler inspires readers to have the audacity to hope, dream and believe for greatness despite any learning disability. Bravely taking the initiative to learn how to read at the age of 27, he successfully paints the picture of turning your pain point into purpose and passion.In this book, you will learn:
  • How to build hope for a better future despite the odds
  • How to make sound decisions today based on the future you desire
  • How to redefine success in the midst of learning disabilities
  • How to turn your pain into great purpose
  • And more!
