In this video, Ricky Jones, a TSSA organizer and a dyslexic and dyscalculic, shares his experience of how he dealt with his learning disabilities. According to him, during the late 60’s, dyslexia was not recognized so those who suffer from it are often labeled as lazy or put in a special need classes.
Pushed into Special Education Classes
Dyslexics were, and often still are put into special education classes. They were grouped in with those with low intelligence even though they may have been very high intelligence. This made life very difficult and diminished self-esteem
Key takeaways
- Dyslexics are often told they are lazy
- Short term memory is often better with dyslexics
- Loing term memory can be worse with dyslexics

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.
