Sometimes the best way to get past a learning disability is to filter it through humor. After all, if you can recognize and laugh at your own weakness, it only makes your strengths that much more prominent. This video features Liz Miele, a comedian who shares her touching experiences with dyslexia.
Like many dyslexics, Liz struggled with spelling, pronouncing new words, reading out loud, and even math. She was called dumb quite a lot in school. However, she also discovered things she’s good at. She can come up with unique ideas and is good at presenting them, she can make connections easily, and can break down ideas into bite-size pieces. These capabilities have actually helped her in her career as a stand-up comedian.

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.
