Dyslexia has the potential to negatively impact the lives of people. All age groups could be affected by the disorder. Schools and other organizations are becoming aware of the condition. This videos on dyslexia offers an explanation for anyone following these topics. Educators have to understand how the disorder affects people in their daily lives.

  2. Dysgraphia is difficulty with written language and expressing thoughts. It can occur with or without a diagnosis of dyslexia.
  3. Technology can be used to help dyslexic learners. These include: listening to books, Learning Ally, Kindle/iPad/Nook, dictation on the computer for writing, and typing.

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.
