Unique Dyslexic Get Creative

An art installation I did a while back as part of our Unique Dyslexic program. The idea was to show that dyslexia is about diversity and difference. The light bulb over the letter I says #IAmDyslexic and that I am a very positive dyslexic and we as dyslexics have very bright ideas. That's why so many of us are entrepreneurs. I think this is probably about a month or so after my heart attack.

HI TO ALL MY FAB BLOG READERS

 

Are you dyslexic or think you are dyslexic? Are you from any other neuro diverse community?

Are you interested in art, drawing, poetry, cooking, photography, music or creative in any way?

Would you like to share what you do creatively?

Then Unique Dyslexic Get Creative is for you. The objective of Unique Dyslexic Get Creative is to support, promote and celebrate the creative talents of dyslexic individuals across the full range of creative spectrum. We invite anyone who is dyslexic, or thinks they are dyslexic, to join the project and share their creative ideas here including:

actors, animators, sculptures, artists, comedians, chefs, dancers, dreamers, engineers, entrepreneurs, games designers, improvisers, information technology geeks, inventors, film makers, musicians, photographers, poets, song writers, story tellers, writers and visionaries.

You do not have to be assessed as dyslexic and we welcome dyspraxic, dyscalculic, AD(H)D and Aspergers individuals to share their creative talents on our facebook page and Unique Dyslexic site. We welcome anyone from any neuro diverse communities to join in and get involved with the Unique Dyslexic Get Creative Project

Some of the creative glassworks people made 

Unique Dyslexic Program:

Research indicates around 10% of the UK population are dyslexic. As a result many dyslexics feel isolated and there is no real tangible dyslexic community to access. Unique Dyslexic seeks to redress this by bringing them together in these workshops where they can develop their creative talents and share experiences of being dyslexic, form friendships and a peer support group.

Dyslexia Pathways CIC and  Unique Dyslexic Unique Dyslexic actively support and promote the social model of dyslexia. We see dyslexia in terms of diversity and difference unlike the medical model of dyslexia that sees dyslexia in terms of disorder, discrepancy and deficits.  

We invite anyone from the dyslexic and or other neuro diverse communities to share their creative work and ideas either on the Unique Dyslexic Get Creative website and Facebook pages.  If you would like to find out more about the Unique Dyslexic Project, you are cordially invited to join the Unique Dyslexic Facebook page at the address below:
