Dustin and Davis Hansen are a father and son team that have created a DC comic book hero with dyslexia. The hero has to save his amazing science project from a VR video game that stole it. DC Comics was very receptive and open to the idea of a dyslexic superhero. The book teaches people that working together is more valuable and appreciated than doing something for someone that is having trouble with any everyday tasks.

Key takeaways

  1. The comic was made to be read for those who have a hard time understanding things.
  2. purposely making the book easy to read and understand, a character even goes as far as to talk in only emojis
  3. its important that we take a step back and look at how we can help people with disabilities.

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.
