The Social Model of Dyslexia and Social Enterprise an Empowering, Inclusive and Positive Way Forward
That is why I and my social enterprise support and promote the social model of dyslexia. Its a model created by dyslexics for dyslexics. It tells us dyslexia is about #diversity and difference.
We have been trying to solve the issues we face using terminology and ideas that are embedded in medical modal thinking that in my view do not fit or work for us. The idea that dyslexia is a disability is imposed upon us by non dyslexic thinking.
We have to stop thinking in terms of disability and focus on the idea that dyslexia is about diversity and difference. If we are going to build a community do we want one based on a medical \ discrepancy model vision or social model of dyslexia vision?
What do you think?
