The initial research on dyslexia indicated that dyslexics had a similar issue to stroke victims in their language processing. Meaning, their reading processor was damaged. This is still commonly thought to be the case today. But researcher, Dr. Levinson believes that the opposite is true. Believing, dyslexics have functional reading processors that are instead receiving scrambled signals before they reach that part of the brain.
Key takeaways
- Dyslexia was first recognized in 1897 by two English men. They found bright kids that reversed letters, numbers, and spelling.
- Dr. Levinson debunked the myth that the reading difficulty experienced by stroke patients and dyslexics are the same.
- Dr. Levinson has not encountered or treated a person with dyslexia that had just a reading problem. They always have problems with writing, spelling, and other related symptoms.
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.
