We dyslexics have to change the message

Me in the college studio recording my first Unique Dyslexic Show


Hi all hope you are all well

Unless we, as dyslexics, get together as a global community and until we speak with one voice with the same message things will not change for our dyslexic kids. We have to challenge the medical model of dyslexia given to us by society which tell us dyslexia is about deficits, disorder and discrepancy. It tells us we are the problem and neglects the fact that it is out dyslexia unfriendly education system that disables us. The medical model of dyslexia has nothing positive to say about dyslexia or to dyslexics. That's why I, and my social enterprise, support and promote the social model of dyslexia that's say dyslexia is about diversity and difference. Together the social model of dyslexia and social enterprise offers a more positive, inclusive and empowering vision for all of us in the dyslexic community. In the collage picture that's me making my first Unique Dyslexic radio show.

#PeaceLovegroovyness to you all
