ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book contributes to the discussion regarding the intersection of entrepreneurship, dyslexia and education. It looks at different perspectives, including the lived experience of entrepreneurs who experience dyslexia. The small-scale and qualitative studies, literature reviews, personal accounts and theory and policy explorations brought together in this book demonstrate that entrepreneurs who experience dyslexia, and people with dyslexia who are also entrepreneurial, can be found everywhere. Commencing with movements arising in the 1970s, the introduction of the social model of disability challenged traditional thought about disability. It moved debate away from the deficit-based medical model of disability, which focused on individual lack and dependence. The conventional workplace setting requires a narrow set of skills and abilities, which often focus on numeracy and a literacy.
