Having dyslexia is no longer as difficult as it used to be. The world’s progressing technology is slowly closing the huge gap once felt by dyslexic students in academia. In this video, former student Brian Meersma shares how access to laptops, apps, and headphones turned his life around.
Brian found assistance in the available assistive technology tools, which are built to help dyslexics in their reading or studies. For him, being able to listen to the content he was working on brought Brian the freedom to fulfill his appetite for knowledge and build confidence.
Assistive technology has provided an opportunity for many dyslexics like Brian to make learning easier for them.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
