I dont have dyslexia, I AM! dyslexic, #IAmDyslexic |
Hello to you all out there
The whole point of Unique Dyslexic, is to promote the idea that every dyslexic mind is unique to the individual. Every dyslexic's life experiences are unique to each individual dyslexic. Also a focus is on the dyslexic creative mind and our unique abilities. As well as the unique minds of neuro diverse communities
All of us have to explore and find the tools that work for us as individuals.
There is no one size fits all needed here. For school, every dyslexic student need to be empowered to build a dyslexic learning tool box that works for them.
This shows an art installation I did as part of our Unique Dyslexic Get Creative campaign. |
The light over the letter I expresses the positivity I have about being dyslexic. (I know positivity may not be a real word but it should be LOL)
It also expresses the impact that my own dyslexia assessment had on me and my life. My dyslexia assessment enabled me to re evaluate the difficulties that I had experienced at school as an un-assessed, and unaware I was dyslexic, dyslexic learner.
It wasn't me that couldn't learn it was the education system that couldn't teach me in ways that enabled me to learn. My dyslexa assessment was a very light switched on eureka moment in my life.
Be that by hand, by keyboard or by speech to text technology etc.
Writing by hand is just a strategy and its not the only strategy.
Find the strategy that works for you. Its only a non dyslexic society that says we all have to write by hand. A non dyslexic society that disables us.
For me personally I would never have achieved academically without access to a computer keyboard
Question for you all:
Please share your ideas in the comments section of my blog.
