What happens when you have two very different children when it comes to learning in school? Kara Berghaus experienced just that with both of her children were both children started off excited for school but her son started to no longer look forward to school in the middle of the first grade. This was when things started to change and he would cry because he hated school.
Were you able to use early intervention to cut back on learner’s stress?
Changes affect how students approach learning negatively.
This was the same time that reading started to pick up in the classroom. Her son was not getting it like the other children were. It was at this point that he was diagnosed with dyslexia. This was when Kara decided to advocate for students that have dyslexia and to raise awareness about it among parents, educators and the broader community.
Key takeaways
- Dyslexia is a specific learning challenge that impacts reading, spelling and word recognition.
- Recently a bill has come up in legislation that would require special education teachers to complete a program for literacy intervention for those with dyslexia.
- The bill is receiving support from legislators and the general public.

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.
