The well-known benefits of meditation are extensively documented and generally accepted; these include stress reduction, lowering of high blood pressure and improvement in immune functions. However, not as well known are the benefits that meditation can have is dealing with dyslexia. Parents should seriously consider incorporating meditation into their dyslexic child’s daily routine.

In the video, we discuss some of the more practical ways that dyslexic children can benefit from meditation.

In addition to the general benefits listed above, research has found that meditation’s effects on dyslexia include decreasing reading errors, transformation of focus and concentration and improvements in self-esteem. Meditation is very relaxing and calming; it significantly reduces anxiety and attenuates nervousness. Information transfer from one side of the brain to the other, an issue with dyslexia, is also enhanced through meditation.

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.
