I’m A Dyslexic Educator. I Teach Other Teachers How To Help Kids Like Me Learn #dyslexia

0aateach-1968076_960_720

Who teaches our children with dyslexia? That seems easy enough. A teacher would teach a child who has dyslexia. Who teaches our teachers who teach those students who have dyslexia? The truth is there is a new type of educator bringing a new idea of teaching to the floor with speaking from experience.

Share the idea

Should peer teachers teach one another or attend specialized schools?

Specialists are in demand throughout school systems.

This is to help teachers to teach kids that learn differently and the best part is this educator has been on the learning side with having dyslexia. The school was difficult for this educator until he found the right pair of learning with teachers that truly cared. Now, he is bringing to the forefront to teachers, parents, and students to focus on their abilities, not their challenges.

For the first time, I was able to place my shoes on the right feet using that sticky tar as visual and kinesthetic cues that my teachers had taught me. I was independent.

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.
