If you are homeschooling your child, particularly a child with special needs such as dyslexia, ADHD, et cetera, training and research are incredibly important. All the training in the world, however, is no substitute for experience. Once you have finished training, read the books, and consumed all of the advice and curriculum available online, it is time to get started.

There’s no substitute for experience, and you only get experienced by actually doing the work. Sure, you’ll have panicked, frustrating days but as time goes on, you’ll start to put all of that training to good use. And you’ll begin to understand how to apply all of those tips and tricks to educating your own precious son or daughter.

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.
