Though dyslexia is a reading disorder, one of the most frustrating and debilitating effects is the gradual erosion of self-esteem that happens to the children it afflicts. Many children who aren’t getting good help for their dyslexia lose their self-confidence to the point where they don’t want to socialize with others.
Luckily, the Alison Lawson Centre can help. According to this video, dyslexic children who participated in their programs showed drastic improvement with their self-esteem. In fact, those students are now excited to go to school, happy to play outside with other children, and have the confidence to interact with people. If a child gets the help they need, they will improve their academic ability, self-image, and their social skills and abilities.
Perseverance, grit, the desire to keep going — it’s all built up by small successes, which develop into larger ones.
The learning success system is designed to create small successes. If you’re interested in doing this for your child, get the learning success system now.

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.
