Parents of dyslexic kids say support at school for their dyslexic kids is not good enough

 

Only 16% of UK parents of dyslexic kids feel positive and dyslexia support offered to their kids

Hi blog readers, followers and subscribers hope you are all well

We must move on from this medical model of dyslexia that talks about dyslexia in terms of discrepancy, disorder and deficits. We need support because our society and education system is dyslexia unfriendly. 

Society disables and it this disabling begins at school where only 19% of dyslexic adults were actually assessed at school. So many dyslexic kids going through the whole of their schooling without support, even those who actually get an assessment find support is not good enough.

We need to change how we think and talk about dyslexia. That's why I support and promote the social model of dyslexia because it tells us dyslexia is about diversity and difference. That's why organisation, Dyslexia Pathways CIC is a social enterprise because we have social aims.
