My dyslexa assessment was a very, "light switched on", eureka moment in my life.

I dont have dyslexia, I AM! dyslexic, #IAmDyslexic

Hello to you all out there

The whole point of Unique Dyslexic, is to promote the idea that every dyslexic mind is unique to the individual. Every dyslexic's life experiences are unique to each individual dyslexic. Also a focus is on the dyslexic creative mind and our unique abilities. As well as the unique minds of neuro diverse communities

All of us have to explore and find the tools that work for us as individuals.

There is no one size fits all needed here. For school, every dyslexic student need to be empowered to build a dyslexic learning tool box that works for them.

Dyslexic positive art installation from me 

This shows an art installation I did as part of our Unique Dyslexic Get Creative campaign. 

The light over the letter I expresses the positivity I have about being dyslexic. (I know positivity may not be a real word but it should be LOL)

It also expresses the impact that my own dyslexia assessment had on me and my life. My dyslexia assessment enabled me to re evaluate the difficulties that I had experienced at school as an un-assessed, and unaware I was dyslexic, dyslexic learner. 

It wasn't me that couldn't learn it was the education system that couldn't teach me in ways that enabled me to learn. My dyslexa assessment was a very light switched on eureka moment in my life.

Also I wanted to say it's not how you write but what you write that's important. 

Be that by hand, by keyboard or by speech to text technology etc. 

Writing by hand is just a strategy and its not the only strategy. 

There is a saying, I think? 

"The saying is, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Which means that a single image can convey a complex idea or story more effectively than a lengthy verbal description. It highlights the power of visual communication, to quickly and clearly communicate information and ideas.

Find the strategy that works for you. Its only a non dyslexic society that says we all have to write by hand. A non dyslexic society that disables us.

For me personally I would never have achieved academically without access to a computer keyboard 

Question for you all:

How would you express dyslexic positivity? 

Please share your ideas in the comments section of my blog.
