Have you ever given thought to students that have dyslexia? What difference in education do they have? Chances are that if you have a child that has dyslexia then you are well versed, but that is not the case for everyone. However, the education system is finally getting serious about educating kids with dyslexia.
Do you feel your District and government is finally understanding learning issues?
Lawmakers are drawing attention to learning struggles.
A new law is being signed into law that would help protect the world of those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and can be used to determine eligibility for special education services including the development of individuating education plans. It is also hopeful that the diagnosing of these educational challenges are better preparing teachers to assist with these challenges.
But thousands of more children with dyslexia — and one in five children have it — will go undiagnosed. Even for those with diagnoses, it will go unremarked upon, in large part because school officials have been afraid to use the word “dyslexia.

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.
