Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects 10% of the American pop. It primarily influences a person’s ability to read, spell, and use language to various degrees. It is not related to a person’s intelligence. Because the signs are not obvious, it can often go undetected for long lengths of time.
A big portion of the population does not understand dyslexia very well. As a result, dyslexics have to overcome lack of support and other barriers. The lifelong condition but it can be managed with educational programs and interventions that are effective in improving reading and writing skills. Although dyslexia is a challenging disease, it doesn’t have to stop someone from living a full, productive life.

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.
