This video presentation summarizes the basics on dyslexia, and ways that dyslexics can seek help and accomodations. Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability, and people with it have difficulty reading, spelling, writing, and pronouncing words. However, it’s important to remember that Individuals with dyslexia are typically normal to above average intelligence.
In fact, many dyslexics are gifted in art, music, math, and sports. Effective intervention for dyslexia should include an explicit, systematic, cumulative-instructions design to promote understanding, memory, and use of spoken and written language. Perhaps most importantly, parents should be sure to recieve support from schools, and if necessary, reference the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, a law that governs special education.
In addition to accommodations, you’ll also want to get a program started to develop the micro-skills that are weak.

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.
