Dyslexia positive

 

This shows an art installation I did as part of our Unique Dyslexic Get Creative campaign. 
Hi blog readers hope you are all well

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 at school as an un-assessed 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. A very light switched on eureka moment in my life.

Also I wanted to say it's not how you write but what you write that's important. 

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.

For me personally I would never have achieved academically without access to a computer keyboard 

Question for you all:

How would you express dyslexic positivity? 

Please share your ideas in the comments section of my blog.

Peace love and groovyness to you all
