Like many children her age, fourteen-year-old Eliza has been diagnosed with Dyslexia. But despite the challenges it creates, Eliza shares her experiences in this wonderful video as a way to educate people concerning this little-understood disorder.
As the video describes, all of our brains “parts” (frontal, temporal, and occipital lobe) are connected by many tiny electrical pathways. Children without dyslexia naturally learn to connect the things they see in their minds with the things they hear and see on the pages of books. However, individuals with dyslexia have electrical pathways which are connected differently. That means they have difficulties linking sounds with what they see, and with the words written on a page.
The Brain Can Develop New Neural Pathways
Dyslexia may have a genetic component, as Eliza’s family has a history of the disorder. Despite the problems it causes in school, though, it’s not all bad; many prominent members of society may have had dyslexia, including Albert Einstein and Walt Disney. In fact, researchers have seen a link between dyslexia, creativity, and problem solving. Certain exercises can also strengthen skills such as auditory discrimination, auditory memory, and visual memory.
When these skills are strengthened the language problems will diminish or fade away. It is also important to incorporate cross lateral exercises and gross motor skills as these stimulate neuroplasticity, which is how the brain forms new pathways.
All of these exercises can be found in the Learning Success System. Grab your copy today!
Key takeaways
- Dyslexics have trouble associating words with things.
- Dyslexia comes in many forms.
- Exercises can strengthen or create new neural pathways and help.
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.
