My social enterprise Dyslexia Pathways Community Interest Company |
Dyslexia is a difference that reflects diversity. We see, make sense and understand the world through our dyslexic prism.
This enables us to solve problems laterally not logically, we have a strong sense of justice because of our emotional intelligence. Being dyslexic gives us a huge unique tool box of strengths.
We can no more be non dyslexic than a non dyslexic can be dyslexic. Yet our education system tries to mould Dyslexic kids into the image of non dyslexic kids. This in itself is disabling.
Our education system fails to empower us to learn and develop through our learning strengths. Fails to enable us to open, explore and develop our Unique tool box of strengths.
We don't have anything missing, we are not broken, we don't have a disability, we don't have dyslexia, we are dyslexic. It's about diversity and difference.
Society disables and this disabling begin at school because our education system fails to enable us to learn and achieve according to our ability.
What do you think? How would you describe being dyslexic to any non dyslexic?
Thanks for reading
Peace, love and groovyness to you all.
