For far too many years the educational system in the UK and America has focused on the negative traits of dyslexia.

This could be set to change as studies are now revealing that dyslexia could be an evolutionary advantage!

One that comes with ‘enhanced abilities’ such as creativity, innovation and discovery.

We are the early adapters, the change makers and maybe even the disruptors of society.

The classic quote of…

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”Henry Ford

Dyslexics naturally know better. We tend to be more comfortable with change…

We are afterall the change-makers of society, the creative strategists and the empaths.

What is the New View on Dyslexia?

“The deficit-centred view of dyslexia isn’t telling the whole story. This research proposes a new framework to help us better understand the cognitive strengths of people with dyslexia.” -Dr Helen Taylor, The University of Cambridge, UK.
