We as dyslexics must change the way we think and talk about dyslexia

Differences between social and medical models of dyslexia

 Hello there blog readers hope you are well

We as dyslexics must change the way we think and talk about dyslexia. We must challenge the negative medical discrepancy, deficit and disorder model of dyslexia. It has nothing positive to say about dyslexia or to dyslexics. 

The medical discrepancy, disorder and deficit model has gotten the dyslexic community precisely nowhere. Our education system still fails far to many dyslexic kids. Our kids fail because our education system is dyslexia unfriendly.

That's why I support and promote the social model of dyslexia and I support and promote it through social enterprise. This is a more positive, empowering and inclusive way forward.

Do we need to be talking social model of neuro diversity? Your thoughts, suggestions and ideas please?

Many thanks for reading, your comments are invited
