Dyslexia is a neurological and genetic issue, but it is not something for which you can take a pill to get over it. There is no cure for the learning issue. Although the effects differ for every person, dyslexia typically presents itself with difficulty reading words, spelling struggles, and language skill issues.

You would be surprised to discover one of the biggest struggles that people with dyslexia face. It is bullying. In school, a dyslexic can be put down an awful lot, especially when they have to take the time to decode a word. Many dyslexics end up dropping out of school because they’re tired of the teasing.

Key takeaways

This youtuber explains the kind of criticism he typically gets from people due to having dyslexia.
About 20% of people are dyslexic, he states. Yet the biggest problem that arises from it is the bullying that arises because you are different.
Dyslexia is hard because you have to decode a word on the spot then need the know how to say the word, and kids are bullied relentlessly rather than helped with their struggle. This often leads to children committing suicide or dropping out school which in turn leads to worse things for them.

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.
