What do you know about Dyslexia? If you are like most people, chances are you know that it can affect reading or language but did you know that it can affect brain function outside of reading and language? Typically, people that have Dyslexia have less brain plasticity as recent studies have found.
Dyslexia is related to reduced brain plasticity.
The most recent study has taken research to study the activity of the brain in two different ways while still performing different tasks. Both of the studies found that the brain of a Dyslexia person do not adapt as much to repeated stimuli. Repeated stimuli include spoken words, faces or event musical notes.
Key takeaways
- Dyslexia is about how the brain adapts to what it has observed, instead of just language or literacy.
- A new study has found that dyslexic brains do not adapt as well to repeated stimuli as normal brains do.

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.
