I founded my social enterprise Dyslexia Pathways CIC 12 years
ago. This year we embarked on a new venture. This was in response to Corona and lock down. We founded two new accessible and inclusive podcasting and broadcasting social media pages called Unique Dyslexic Eye. My dyslexia Steve
Unique Dyslexic McCue blog has had over 270.000 views and our aim is to bring that success to our podcasting and broadcasting.
Our overall goal is to support and nurture the mental health and
well being of the dyslexic and neuro diverse communities. On our podcasts and broadcasts we play exclusively music and poetry written and performed by dyslexic and neuro diverse musicians. We also raise awareness of the positives of being dyslexic and neuro diverse and I give advice an guidance on how to succeed and overcome barriers to employment and education.
When I founded Dyslexia Pathways CIC I wanted to offer a
different vision. One that challenged the idea that dyslexia and neuro diversity is about disability and discrepancy. To do this we promote a social model of dyslexia which focuses on the idea that dyslexia and neuro diversity is about diversity and difference. We see our social model and social enterprise model as an innovative, inclusive and positive way forward. We do not see being dyslexic or neuro diverse as a problem. We believe it is society that disables us and this begins at school which are still dyslexia and neuro diverse unfriendly.
