In the interview with thirteen year old Amy, she describes her experience in school with receiving help to overcome dyslexia. She mentions wearing special glasses, being taken out of class, and other methods that were tried. She talks about her interests that go beyond reading and writing, and she encourages her audience to not be afraid.
Key takeaways
- Amy–a dyslexic student–shared her experiences of having dyslexia. She was first diagnosed when she was 8 or 9 years old and received support–such as special reading classes.
- She didn't allow her learning disability to hinder her from doing activities she enjoys–such as running, art, and hanging out with her friends.
- Joining dyslexic groups can also help in coping with the difficulties; they can share and learn from each others experiences.

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.
