Many schools are only equipped to handle the basic kids that do not have any learning issues. It has come to many people’s attentions that it may be a good idea for schools to be given more resources when it comes to things like dyslexia. This can be a game changer for some kids that may have dyslexia but have not been diagnosed.
Dyslexia is difficult to understand, extra resources are necessary in our education system.
One of the questions that remain is how common dyslexia really is and what are the aspects that make a person become diagnosed with dyslexia. Can dyslexia be a reflection of one’s intelligence or is it something that a person can overcome and grow from. Other mental health and learning issues can make it hard for a professional to diagnose dyslexia.
Proper assessments and treatment can help and can prevent secondary mental health problems from arising

Key takeaways
- 1 out of 6 children have dyslexia.
- If students are introduced to structured literacy early on they can become “normalized” and other mental health issues can be avoided.
- There are not enough resources in school to help children with 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.
