Students’ Experiences With Dyslexia

Students share their personal struggles with dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a condition where the individual’s brain sees objects or alphabets backwards. This is a brain disorder that is not being addressed in the school system and the world at large. There is a greater need for more public information and understanding that people with dyslexia are not stupid, but speaking from a place of what is being presented to them by their brain.

One of the dyslexic students in this video found it helpful that her teacher understood her learning difficulty and had given her consideration in school. Common difficulty among dyslexics are the moving letters or words in a white paper or board when reading. Giving extra time is also very helpful for dyslexic students when they are doing school works or taking exams.

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.
