We must argue / fight for a more positive dyslexia agenda:
I will say this again lol #dyslexia is a difference that reflects #diversity #uniquedyslexic #vivaladifference #dyslexiapathwayscic.
The medical model of dyslexia has nothing positive to say about dyslexia or to dyslexics. That's why my organisation, Dyslexia Pathways CIC promotes and supports the social model of dyslexia.
We believe that neuro diversity is as important as biodiversity. On planet earth, indeed the whole universe, nature thrives and grows through diversity and it would be a very boring place without it.
The same goes for humanity which would be pretty sterile if it were not for diversity.
What the medical model defines as defect the social model defines as difference.
When the medical model says we must remediate, the social model says we must nurture.
#dyslexia its about hidden abilities #uniquedyslexic #vivaladifference #dyslexiapathwayscic #socialenterprise social model of dyslexia a new way forward.
