Social skills may be difficult to master for those who are faced with dyslexia. Luckily, three dyslexic strengths are problem solving or ability to see patterns, strong memory for experiences, and an ability to share and listen to vivid, rich stories. These are classic examples of how educators can guide the way. This video provides some points for educators to review some of the details surrounding the diagnosis of dyslexia to understand these challenges.
Accommodations are different for each dyslexic student, such as extra time, provision of reading alternatives such as audiobooks, choosing the right font size, and prioritizing the ideas of their writing and others. It’s important to empower the dyslexic learner by encouraging them as they grow older to self-advocate, which is essential for their academic and professional success.

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.
