Positive Dyslexia Act 1

Positive Dyslexia – Follow your Star!

ACT 1: Introduction


By Roderick Nicolson, Professor of Psychology and renowned dyslexia expert


Positive Dyslexia aims to transform the image of dyslexia and the opportunities for dyslexic people at home, at school, at work and in society by focusing on the strengths of dyslexia and how dyslexic people can develop and celebrate their own strengths. 


This 'ShowBook' - created by the founder of Positive Dyslexia – takes you all the way on the ‘Positive Dyslexia Journey’ from research to practice for all, young and old. It is unique and transformative.


It is unlike any other book, and is called a ShowBook because it is a show and a book, designed for dyslexic users, talking you through all the pages and all the actions.


Act 1 presents the background in terms of Dyslexia and Positive Psychology, and develops the road map for the rest of the book and the ‘Positive Dyslexia Journey’. 


It ends with the stirring challenge that by 2020 company bosses will be actively searching for dyslexic employees for their talent management programs!
