Hello all of you out there across the world
New ideas and new way forward for the dyslexic community:
Almost all new ideas are generated by individuals but they are given life by and nurtured by communities and the cultures they can create.
If we are ever going to move away from a negative medical model of dyslexia that has nothing positive to say to dyslexics or about dyslexia. We, as dyslexics, need to come together and create a coherent global dyslexic community. A community that has a single message. This being that dyslexia is a difference that reflects diversity.
A global dyslexic community that has a more positive social model of dyslexia vision of dyslexia. A vision which nurtures and values dyslexic diversity and difference and celebrates all that we have achieved and are still to achieve in the future.
We need to consign the medical model of dyslexia to history where it belongs because it has failed us as dyslexics. The medical model of dyslexia is one that has been imposed on us and does nothing but shackle us to a negative stereotype of dyslexia.
The social model of dyslexia together with social enterprise defines us by what we can do and achieve. It empowers and frees us from the negative medical model stereotype that tells us being dyslexic means we are disabled is some way.
The social model of dyslexia was developed by dyslexics for dyslexia. It is our own model.
That's why I believe that dyslexia is a difference that reflects diversity and that neuro diversity is as important as biodiversity.
My organisation Dyslexia Pathways CIC was one of the first dyslexia focussed social enterprise in the world and we have embraced and promoted the social model of dyslexia through social enterprise.
Why not join us and let's create the global community and culture we are dyslexics need to move forward and enable our dyslexic kids to thrive and succeed.
Dyslexia Pathways CIC was the first dyslexia focussed social enterprise in the word We support and promote dyslexia and neuro diversity through social enterprise and social model of dyslexia.
We believe this offers a positive and innovative way forward for the dyslexic community and an empowering alternative the the medical model of dyslexia. A model which tells us our brains do not function normally and that we are broken in some way.
The social model tells us dyslexia is all about diversity and difference. Nature thrives because of diversity and difference as does humanity. That's why we say vivaladifference for dyslexia and neuro diversity as well as for disability.
If we cannot respect and embrace neuro diversity and all other aspect of diversity on planet earth. Then how will we embrace and respect it when we meet it out there in the universe?
And Finally:
A little something for every dyslexic in the world. May your journey as a dyslexic in a non dyslexic world be a fab one. Every single one of you dyslexics out there are fabtastic. A huge heap of thanks to all those who love and support us.
