Detecting Dyslexia has proven to be a significant challenge for many. Students in schools are faced with reading challenges unlike any other. There are new ideas that can help detect Dyslexia from the start. A young student has introduced an idea that centers on headsets. The computer game and headset combo may just be a popular choice.

Share the idea

Games for struggling students are available. Some are made by students, themselves.

Dyslexia is not easy to assess and diagnose.

The games ask children to match words with a recording played. The headsets play the recording and help children hear the voice. A video game context makes the test easier for young people to take. A quick evaluation can reveal the Dyslexia condition in full. Parents and teachers will know what to do for these students afterwards.

Key takeaways

  1. Caitie Glover has struggled with her own learning difficulty at a young age.
  2. Glover wants to help others, so she invented a computer game that can help screen autistic children.
  3. The game has the user wear a headset and match sounds to written words.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
