In the skit, a teacher is educating a class of four girls. She asks one girl to read aloud, and the girl reads well. When she asks a second student, Matilda, to read, the girl is following the story on the wrong page (59 instead of 95). When Matilda does read, she struggles badly.

Later that day, a counselor speaks to Matilda and her family that she thinks the young girl has dyslexia. Matilda’s mom problem identifying speech sounds. They suggest she get tested, and if she has it they will give her an IP. That night, Matilda’s mom observes her daughter reading, sees her struggling, and decides it’s a good idea to get her tested.

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

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.
