Our Mission

Every dyslexic child deserves the right support — and every parent deserves to find it.

DyslexiaCompass was built to close the gap between what parents need to know and what's actually easy to find.

The problem we're solving

1 in 5 people have dyslexia — yet most go years without identification or support. Not because the help doesn't exist, but because the system is hard to navigate.

Parents sit in IEP meetings not knowing their rights. They search for tutors and find nothing but expensive private options. They watch their child struggle in school while waiting months for evaluations.

We built DyslexiaCompass so that finding the right path forward doesn't require a PhD or a lawyer.

What we believe

01

Dyslexia is not a reflection of intelligence.

Dyslexic thinkers are often exceptionally creative, strategic, and empathetic. The challenge is with reading — not with thinking.

02

Early identification changes everything.

The earlier a child gets the right support, the better the outcomes. Our tools are designed to help families act sooner, not later.

03

Every family deserves access — not just those who can afford it.

We keep all core tools free because the families who need this most often have the least access to expensive specialists and advocates.

04

Parents are the most powerful advocates.

When parents understand their rights and the research, they become unstoppable. Our job is to give them that foundation.

05

Evidence-based instruction works.

Structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham, and multisensory approaches have decades of research behind them. We point families toward what actually works.

Built with care

DyslexiaCompass is an independent platform built by people who care deeply about learning differences. Our AI Navigator is powered by Anthropic's Claude — one of the most capable and safety-focused AI systems available.
