Dyslexic Technology: OneNote Can Improve Learning

Hybrid computers with OneNote software can greatly increase dyslexic learners' abilities to focus.

Studies have shown that children who are dyslexic suffer from automating language, not just mixing up letters. This means they struggle with reading, writing, and organization. As this video discusses, researchers are finding that using hybrid computers and OneNote, a computer-based tool that helps learners focus instead of coping with language difficulties, can greatly improve concentration.

OneNote has integrated character recognition and a multi-lingual corrector, which provides dyslexic students total independence in class. This means less time is required from teachers to guide them, and they can work at the same pace as other students. In fact, dyslexic students can work 2 to 3 times faster when they are on their computer compared to paper. These accomodations make a drastic change to how well dyslexics can learn.

In addition to accommodations, you’ll also want to get a program started to develop the micro-skills that are weak.
The best way to do that is to get started on the Learning Success System today!

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.
