The Strengths of Dyslexia

Dyslexia affects the brain in many ways, and certain aspects of it can actually be used as a strength.

The Strengths of Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a disorder that can negatively affect school performance, and is typically regarded as a weakness. In this video series, however, the creators have a different perspective: according to peer-reviewed research, Dyslexia can actually be a strength.

According to research done by Yale University, dyslexics perceive the world differently, but not necessarily for the worse. They think wholistically in a three-dimensional environment, and they are good at problem solving or seeing solutions a lot more quickly. This can provide dyslexics with an edge in certain situations, especially business environments.

There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

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.
