Doug Rocks-Macqueen explains the tie between dyslexia and archaeology. And how you can identify if you have dyslexia. This video will help you gather information from someone who spent years in the field and in college. You will also learn that despite the achievements of dyslexic students in universities, financial aid was cut.
Key takeaways
- One person who has dyslexia can have completely different symptoms from another who has dyslexia. There are other symptoms besides reading and writing difficulties.
- An estimated of 5% to 15% have dyslexia in the UK, primarily young people.
- There has been a cut in the funding for students with disabilities in England and Wales. This can negatively affect the number of Archaeologists with dyslexia in the coming years.
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.
