Dyslexia is a disorder that makes it difficult for people to read, write, and learn in the usual manner. But as this video reveals, some of our most talented athletes, actors, and even scholars embraced their dyslexia and went on to become superstars of their generations. Charles Schwab, for example, recognized that dyslexia has played an important role in his business success — he was able to recognize his weaknesses early on, and built around himself with talented people who can do what he is not capable to do.
Richard Branson, famous businessman, started to share his journey in his 20’s in order to inspire young dyslexics that there are difficulties but they can succeed if they follow their dreams. Even Steven Spielberg was teased in school because he was behind in reading, but he wanted to inspire other dyslexics — there are ways they can cope. Once dyslexia is diagnosed and embraced, we take the steps to unlock our true potential.
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.
