When Does a Reading Struggle Become a Dyslexia Concern?

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dyslexia On Demand and the impact their therapy has had on my daughter. When we started this program, I wanted more than anything to help my daughter feel confident in herself as a learner again. The transformation has been incredible. She is now so much more confident, motivated, and willing to learn. She has caught up to grade level in reading and is doing so much better in math as well. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is in her happiness. She no longer comes home crying or feeling defeated because school is too difficult. Instead, she wakes up early every day excited to go to school. As a parent, seeing that change has meant everything to me. The knowledge and strategies she gained through Dyslexia On Demand have given her the tools to understand how she learns and, more importantly, the confidence to believe in herself. This program has made such a meaningful difference not only academically, but emotionally and personally. I am incredibly grateful to everyone at Dyslexia On Demand for the time, dedication, knowledge, and support they have given my daughter. You have helped her find confidence in herself and joy in learning again, and that is something I will always appreciate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for her. I truly cannot express how grateful I am.

Thatcher is thriving in Dyslexia on Demand. He told me the other day that his favorite subject was writing!!! I about fell out of my seat!! He loves his sessions with Taylor and his writing, spelling, and reading are really progressing. This has certainly changed the course of his educational path forward. We couldn't be more pleased!

We absolutely love Miss Mary and everyone at Dyslexia on Demand. ❤️ Issabella has grown so much, not only in her reading, but in her confidence, her faith in herself, and her willingness to keep pushing through challenges. Miss Mary has played such a huge role in helping her believe in herself again, and that means more to our family than words can express.

The BEST thing we have ever done is to put our hope and trust with Dyslexia On Demand. Communication with parents is speedy and supportive. The love and patience give to our son is top notch!! They are part of our success story and can never thank them enough!

We have had an incredible experience with Dyslexia on Demand! My daughter, Bella, absolutely loves her teacher, Miss Mary. ❤️ Issabella participates in the daily one hour intervention sessions, and she actually loves jumping on the calls every single day. In just a very short amount of time, we have seen tremendous growth. Her reading skills have improved significantly, but the biggest transformation is her confidence. You can truly see how much more confident she has become in her abilities. We are so grateful for Miss Mary and the amazing program at Dyslexia on Demand. I highly recommend them to any family looking for effective, engaging, and life-changing reading support!

I cannot speak highly enough about Dyslexia on Demand and the impact it has had on our son, Tripp. I want to share our story because I believe it’s proof of what’s possible when the right people come alongside your child. This past spring, during a parent-teacher conference following his IOWA test results, I sat in a room with administrators and faculty as they explained—quite frankly—how much of a “problem” Tripp was perceived to be. At the time, he was being bullied by the principal’s son, and I had voiced strong concerns about the lack of structure, discipline, curriculum issues, and troubling social dynamics. I could see Tripp declining emotionally, mentally, and academically. Things had reached a point where, one day in the carpool line, he jumped out of the car and ran down the street screaming that he wasn’t going back to school. The campus police officer and school counselor became involved—but even then, the school still labeled him as the problem. I left that spring meeting with a heavy heart and a clear conviction: it was time to pull both of our children out of the school. We didn’t have a plan yet, but I knew in my gut that I could give them better than what they were receiving at the so-called “best” private school in our small town. I remember crying in the car afterward and sending Megan an emotional, long-winded email—much like this one—feeling like I had somehow failed my son. Fast forward to today, and I want to share something that still gives me chills: Tripp’s test results from Liberty University Online Academy now show that not only is he working at grade level—he is at the very top of his class. His confidence is unmistakable, and his light is back. From the deepest place in my mama heart, thank you. Partnering with Dyslexia on Demand, and with Mrs. Suzanne specifically, has been one of the greatest blessings on this journey. Their work is truly changing lives—and I have the proof, right here in my thriving boy.

Amity is amazing at keeping our 3rd grader engaged in the program and is always accommodating when needed. It has been refreshing to feel supported and not judged during times when our daughter is experiencing cognitive overload from school testing and then comes home to do more work. Amity clearly understands neurodivergent children and students with disabilities, and how their brains work. I especially appreciate her warm and gentle demeanor when our child is off task and needs redirection. There have even been times when I started to step in to encourage my child to participate, only to realize that Amity already had it handled. That level of confidence, patience, and skill is something our previous provider was lacking. I am so excited that my child can participate in therapy four times a week for an hour each session. This would have been beyond unmanageable previously. Amity is a fabulous fit, and so is your program. Everything flows so nicely.

“Watching Joseph grow through Dyslexia On Demand has been nothing short of life changing for our family. What once felt overwhelming now feels full of possibility because of the support and guidance they provide. They have helped my son build confidence, strength, and belief in himself as a learner. As parents, we are deeply grateful for the difference Dyslexia Online has made in Joseph’s life.” Thank you Abril 😀

We are only 2.5 months into my daughter’s Dyslexia on Demand program, and we are already seeing improvements. We opted for the group therapy lessons, and they have been great. She absolutely loves her sweet teacher, Ms. Heather, and looks forward to seeing her each week. We’ve noticed she is gaining much more confidence in her reading and is starting to truly enjoy it. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her as she continues with the program.

My learner never had access to structured literacy before. Dyslexia on Demand is literally changing the trajectory of their life by helping them become a reader. Edited to add- Dyslexia on Demand and our therapist Elizabeth are amazing. My son needs fairly significant support. I imagine it could be easy to feel that he is too difficult to serve given his struggles with language and attention. But Elizabeth has never wavered. I sense she's just as committed to his success as I am, and it feels like such a relief to finally have that kind of partner. She has had a tremendous impact on our family by giving us greater hope for our son's future. My appreciation for her could never be overstated.

Our daughter,Emersyn, has been with Dyslexia on Demand for a couple years now! We are so pleased with all the services they provide! She has had two therapists and both have been knowledgeable,patient,helpful,and kind. They see her! The curriculum is very comprehensive! Emersyn has gained so much confidence in reading and spelling! We look forward to her future progress with Dyslexia on Demand! Thank you Dyslexia on Demand!

Two of my children receive therapy from Dyslexia on Demand. Both are thriving and making incredible progress! My son has been working with Brooke for less than a year and has grown in his reading skills and his confidence! His change of heart towards reading and learning has been a beautiful transition to watch and has brought me peace of mind and relief watching him get on the right track and receive the support he needed. Most extraordinarily though, my 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 7 and has struggled so much through the years. She has undergone intensive therapies and even attended a dyslexic private school for a few years, where she received specialized instruction and one-on-one therapy daily. Even after years of therapy and specialized education, she started 5th grade, last year, with a 3.2 reading level. A year later, her STAR testing showed she was starting 6th grade with a 7.8 reading level! Dyslexia on Demand and her provider, Kim, have so much to do with her progress, confidence and success. To watch that gap finally close and to witness my child read confidently is a joy I can’t describe and has been worth every investment of time and resources! I can not adequately describe the impact Dyslexia on Demand has had on our lives, but to put it simply, I am so genuinely impressed, grateful and thankful!

I can't speak highly enough of Dyslexia On Demand - from my first conversation with Megan I felt an understanding of everything we had been dealing with through the years. She was able to quickly help me understand what my child needed and what we needed to do. My daughter is in high school and at first didn't want to think about therapy, but she loves her therapist, Suzanne. She is always ready for her session which I think speaks volumes and is continuing to build her confidence. We are excited to see her continued growth through the program.

Dyslexia on Demand has been such a blessing for our little girl! Since starting this 2yr course which she will be finishing in a year in half- we went from not remembering site words or barely remembering sounds of letters and decoding to reading past a 3rd grade level! This has been such a treat to watch! Are therapist is like being part of our little family

Dyslexia on Demand has been absolutely life-changing for my daughter. Before we found them, reading felt overwhelming and discouraging for her, but now she is growing in confidence every week. The one-on-one support and specialized approach have truly made all the difference. Her tutor is patient, encouraging, and really understands how to meet her where she is. Not only has her reading improved, but her overall confidence.

My 9 year old daughter started Dyselxia on Demand in June 2 and this is the only intervention we have constantly seen growth with since being diagnosed with dyslexia. We immediately saw growth in fluency, ability to access curriculum and writing. Her confidence is building and we are finding her reading for pleasure which has been so heartweraring. A CALT, using a research based program is exactly what she needed. This was the answer to our prayers and we are excited to see her continue to grow! We have worked with 2 CALT's and they have both been engaging, positive, caring and great communicators.

My friend, whose SIL works for DOD, recommended the company. And I'm so grateful! Reasonably priced and my daughter's reading has astronomically improved - she's reading much better than I had ever expected after having started this past summer! She loves her therapist and she's spontaneously reading on her own with significantly improved fluency. I'm no longer worried about her confidence; her spelling as improved. I'm hoping to continue past her therapy so her reading continues to strengthen to its fullest capacity.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Dyslexia on Demand. My son has struggled with reading for years, but since starting with his instructor, his reading skills have improved dramatically. Even more importantly, his confidence has grown so much. He no longer gets discouraged when reading and is actually starting to enjoy it. The patience, knowledge, and encouragement provided have made all the difference. I am so grateful for the support they’ve given our family and highly recommend them to anyone whose child is struggling with reading or dyslexia.

Having a child with a learning difference can sometimes be difficult to navigate! Unfortunately kids don't come with a manual and definitely not children that learn "outside of the norm". Our son went to a school for kids with learning differences and after 5 years we weren't convinced he would ever read on grade level, so by the time we found DoD we were desperate. We met with Megan and she settled our mind that there was a therapist that could meet our teenage son where he was and with time and effort he would read! She paired us with a therapist that had experience working with older, maybe a little more resistant children. We love Brooke! Easton loves Brooke and he really, truly looks forward to their sessions together. Thank you so much to all of the staff at DoD and a special shoutout to our therapist, Brooke. Easons future is looking bright!

This dyslexia program is the best of the best! We love our CALT, Lauren B.! My daughter was slow going then it clicked about 9 months in (so keep at it, trust the process)! I highly recommend Dyslexia on Demand!!

My daughter has had a tutor through Dyslexia on Demand for over 2 years and it was the best decision we ever made. Lisa, her tutor, is patient, accommodating to our schedule and really wants to see my daughter succeed. AMAZING COMPANY!

My son has been doing the DOD program for 4 months now. I am impressed by how thorough the program is. The whole team is dedicated to informing and supporting both parents and their children. Our tutor is awesome! She has over 30 years of experience and is great with my son. She is also flexible with our schedule. The whole program takes a couple years on average, but for the support it offers children who would otherwise spend their school years struggling, it is well worth it. I have already seen more confidence in my son. I am glad this program offers highly qualified dyslexia tutors that we would otherwise not have access to in our area.
