Social Inclusion & Dyslexia

Does your child or learner feel included socially? Inclusion is important for children who struggle in learning so that the struggle does not transfer to their social life. Not being involved reduces self-esteem and makes their success harder than it should be.

The SID project interviews dyslexics about their vocational journeys after they left school and entered the workforce. Many explained that they would seek employment that did not require reading or writing skills, so they did not have to worry about the challenges associated with their dyslexia. Unfortunately, that limits their job choices.

As a consequence, many dyslexics are forced to take jobs that are low-paying and are of low-prestige, even though they may be highly intelligent. Additionally, many have difficulty attaining stable employment, because they may float from different jobs due to lack of interest of difficulties with the tasks required of them.

Key takeaways

Many dyslexic people are unaware of their hidden talents.
Dyslexic students often feel that they are only capable of unskilled jobs.
Social exclusion can have a serious impact on dyslexic children.

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.
