Being dyslexia positive


 



 

UNIQUE DYSLEXIC: BEING DYSLEXIA POSITIVE

There are many dyslexics out there who have never been assessed as being dyslexic. They may have been told by a teacher or friend they may be dyslexic. Or have a family member who has already been assessed as being dyslexic. But have never had the opportunity to find out more about it.

You do not need to have been assessed as being dyslexic to get involved with the Unique Dyslexic project.

The Unique Dyslexic project will be holding a number of creative workshops over the next 8 months for anyone wanting to explore their creative talents or just to find out more about being creative. They are there for anyone of any ability to access. But most of all the workshops are about having fun and meeting with other dyslexics. If you live in Fife or near Fife you are welcome to come along and have fun. There will be between 12 to 15 places available for each workshop.

The first workshop will focus on painting and drawing and will be taking place very soon.  Other workshops will focus on other creative activities such as photography, music, creative writing and poetry.

Anyone wanting to come along to any of these workshops, or find out more about the Unique Dyslexic project or book a place on one of our workshops please visit our Facebook page:  



We can also organise a workshop for any organisation wanting to get involved with supporting dyslexic clients.

You are also invited to share your creative endeavours on the Unique Dyslexic Facebook page now. This is an invitation to any of one of any ability who would like to share their creative talents in a supportive and friendly environment.

We at Dyslexia Pathways do not believe dyslexia to be a disability. It is society that disables dyslexics. This disabling begins at school where we are not taught in ways that enable us to access the learning that takes place in the classroom. As a result schools still fail far too many dyslexic kids. If you were one of those kids and over the age of 16 you are welcome to come along to any of the Unique Dyslexic workshops.

Free dyslexia screening using Quickscan is available to anyone attending any of the workshops.
