Contrary to popular belief, dyslexia is not just a learning disability that affects literacy or memory. In fact, some people with dyslexia do excel in reading and writing — they just have trouble spelling words correctly. These sorts of misunderstandings can greatly affect how dyslexic children are treated and educated in school.
That’s why it is imperative that teachers recieve training to make sure they are up-to-date on ways to detect and handle students with learning disabilities. According to this video, there is a major need for improvement in the realm of learning disability training. This is especially vital, as the best way to help people with dyslexia is to promote awareness. After all, it’s a much bigger picture than just reading or spelling.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

Take the dyslexia test
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.
