Hello there so how is your belly for spots today?

Hello all hope you are all well....sorry about the title of this blog entry lol. A long time ago when I used to work in builders merchant yards shovelling sand and driving tractors etc it was something we all said to greet our friendly customers.

Later today I am giving an interview for Self Management Network Scotland. Here is a little back ground information on this organisation:

Based at the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE), the Self Management Partnership and Practice Programme grew out of recognition of the learning being generated by Self Management IMPACT Funded projects.

In order to share the learning, good practice and innovative ideas being developed, this programme will work to develop self management across Scotland and facilitate your conversations about self management.

Its been a very busy week for me and phew boy am I ready for a long week end. On Monday I presented a dyslexia awareness training session to the directors of Dyslexia Pathways CIC. I have to say they all worked very hard and were all very well behaved. No naughty step needed at all.

Some of the feedback included:

1. a very positive message to take away that I could quote people
2. dyslexia is a very positive difference
3. information on tools to help
4. different outlooks on dyslexia ie medical and social models
5. positive attitudes towards dyslexia
6. embrace your differences

Just a few things to tweek and I will roll this training package out for individuals and organisations.

Our Unique Dyslexic Crowdfunding is not going as well as I would have liked. But we still have just over 40 days to go and we have had 9 contributions so far. Below is a link to our crowd funding page. Its easy to contribute using a credit or debit card or Paypal.

As part of this campaign we are soon going to open a competition for young dyslexics to design their own positive dyslexia logos for a tee shirt. One of which will be chosen by people on our social media and used as part of our Unique Dyslexic Campaign.

Anyways many thanks for reading please share news on our crowd funding to all your contacts and please consider contributing to it.

regards

Steve

PS had a great meeting at Napier University regarding my dyslexia phone up designs. Both Napier and St Andrews want to go forward and apply for a Scottish Innovation Certificate.
