Nina was diagnosed with Dyslexia in third grade. In this video Nina explains how dyslexia affects her learning, what her strengths are and how Churchill School helped her manage her dyslexia. The Head of Activities at Churchill School also explains what dyslexia is and how learning disabilities can affect a student’s self-esteem and learning. Learning how to learn and managing her ADD has helped Nina succeed as a student.
Key takeaways
- Dyslexia literally means difficult with words. These persons have difficulty with breaking down the words in the language but usually are intelligent.
- Dyslexics need to know the strategies, tools and techniques in learning. They also need to understand the challenges, strengths associated with dyslexia.
- Self-esteem could have an impact in the way dyslexics learn. It is important that they believe they could learn despite the learning difficulty.
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.
