Elisheva Schwartz interviews Dr. Brock Eide, co-author of The Dyslexic Advantage and the founder of The Dyslexic Advantage Organization. In the video, Eide explains how his experiences with his own dyslexic children led him to discover that other families with dyslexic children had an uncommonly high number of entrepreneurs, inventors, and engineers. He found that while dyslexia may throw up learning barriers, the dyslexic brain also has hidden potential if unlocked.
Key takeaways
- Dr. Brock Eide was motivated to help dyslexic learners because of his experience with his dyslexic children. Also after discovering that there is a lack of knowledge about dyslexia among medical professionals.
- Dr. Eide's book, Dyslexic Advantage, is about teaching dyslexics how to be better dyslexics. It discusses different dyslexic strengths or M.I.N.D Strengths.
- He believes that the current educational system for dyslexic learners has failed completely and should be changed.
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.
