Artist Statement:-
My name is Artist Paul Milton B.D.A Ambassador for Art’s and Dyslexia I am a keen advocate for equality and right’s in the field of dyslexia. I believe in making a positive difference and positive changes in the way we approach and tackle the subject of dyslexia.
My interest in equality and human rights came about by personal experience and the need to know and has been a natural journey and progression. “When what you care about is taken away or denied it’s amazing how much you’re willing to fight for your civil liberties and what you believe to be just and true.”
“I’m glad to say I’ve met some nice people.”
“I prefer to go out and make those changes happen actions speak louder than words, or social media especially in the world of dyslexia.”
“What I have done and achieved I have done myself and for my fellow dyslexic’s and I will continue to campaign and try my upmost to make those changes for fairness and equality happen”.

Equality and Human Right’s Connected to Dyslexia.
My passion for equality and right’s in the field of dyslexia has only taken precedence recently 2016.
Sadly recently I have encountered prejudice of my dyslexia which I had to deal with by myself but it made me raise the question surely there was something to protect me?
That question would start my journey and take me into the world of dyslexia and politics’.
What I didn’t realise was the struggle my mum went through as well with me when I was younger and that she had gone down the same path as I have trying to find out what me and my mum were entitled to but primarily our right’s.
When your dyslexic reading books and sifting through data isn’t easy to find out rights and equalities which is why I have done this page.
My background with Dyslexia:-
Dyslexia run’s in my family I am dyslexic, my mum is dyslexic, and my father and mother are both undiagnosed dyslexic we all help each other as families should do, one of my greatest strengths. I’m so lucky and fortunate to have such brilliant parent’s a constant rock and strength.
Right’s and Equalities Basic’s:-
The first part is understanding the basic’s, of right’s, and equalities connected to dyslexia.
Equality Definition:-
The definition of equality mean’s each individual person regardless of race, disability, sex, sexuality in entitled to equal opportunities and chances in life “an equal chance”.
Human Right’s definition:-
The human rights act is sadly a bit more complicated and more complex but it’s root’s come from a United Nation’s declaration which state’s the right’s and freedom’s entitled to all human being’s, the human rights act is in place to protect your civil liberties or what you hold dear.

Please note these details’ are just the basics with the aim of giving dyslexic people a basic understanding of what right’s and equalities are. For legal advice please use the link’s below or contact your local authority and council.
Please note the British Government have been very supportive on this subject:-
“One kind lady was a delight to speak to if only everyone could be so open to dyslexia and Kind and helpful”.
For further assistance with equalities, and right’s, please use the links below kindly provided by the government where I am sure they will be able to help and assist you further.
In the UK, Dyslexia is recognised as a disability under the terms of the Equality Act 2010. You can find out more about who this legislation protects and what types of discrimination it covers by looking at the Government's Equality Act 2010 guidance: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/equality-act-2010-guidance
If you have further questions about how the law may be applied in particular cases, please contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service [https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com] who offer a free advice line and are able to advise on all equalities issues. Contact details are given on their website at: https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/app/ask/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ1NTc4NzEyNy9zaWQvNzJRdWRuSm0%3D
Summary:-
“I will continue as always to do all I can and more for dyslexia, I am keen to bring forward change in the way we approach dyslexia “Empty word’s, and gesture’s and lack substance have no place in the field of dyslexia”.
“Actions speak louder than words, or intentions, which is why I am different “if I can help to make these changes I will”.
