Hi ya all

Hi all hope you are all well

#iamdyslexic

As a dyslexic and as a dyslexia and inclusion specialist I believe terms like I have dyslexia reflect a negative medical discrepancy model of Dyslexia. It implies I am broken or in need of a cure. Which I don't believe I need or want for that matter.

I believe being dyslexic is more about diversity and difference. I support the social model of dyslexia which basically tells us society disables. When I know from my own research that only 19% of dyslexic adults were assessed at school you can see how society disables. We see that only 5% of undergraduates are dyslexic and we know that 10% of the population are dyslexic.

You can see how society disables. But we also know 35% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic, we know many dyslexics bright, creative and smart people. But when our education systems fails us and marginalises us it and fails to nurture and grow according to our talents and gifts it surprising any one us succeed at all.

Brian ENO said we are all born unequal with our own unique set of talents, gifts and strengths. The issue is that out education system singularly fails to nurture the talent, gifts and strengths of dyslexic, neuro diverse and disabled kids
