Where to Find Dyslexia Support Outside of School

The Reading Clinic, Inc. offers some tips on supporting the dyslexic community.

Dyslexia, which causes difficulty reading, writing, and processing information, is present in about one out of five people. In this video, Dr. Rahmanda S. Campbell, founder of The Reading Clinic Inc., discusses the struggles of those with dyslexia, a problem not about intelligence but rather the capability to process information.

Oftentimes the test for dyslexia is not offered in schools, and parents have to seek outside sources and resources to get an early intervention for their dyslexic child. Accommodations can be made to help dyslexic students learn to process information more quickly and make gains in reading as well as comprehension. A great opportunity to support the dyslexic community is participating in charity events, like the one listed in the video.

There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
