This is an episode of Talk of the Town interviewing a couple involved with WILDD (Wisconsin Institute for Learning Disabilities/Dyslexia). The organization helps people with learning disabilities learn reading and writing. They are advertising an open house event that is on October 10th. Open to the public, there will be free food, videos, and information. There will also be simulations of various cognitive disabilities.

Key takeaways

  1. WILDD (Wisconsin Institute for Learning Disabilities/Dyslexia) is a non-profit organization that teaches children and adults how to read, spell, and interact with their language.
  2. The organization's goal is to educate the public about learning disabilities, including dyslexia.
  3. To create awareness in the community with current events, the open house event will show simulations, video presentations, and live demonstrations about dyslexia.

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.
