How to support my child with dyslexia?
As parents, receiving a diagnosis of dyslexia for your child can be both clarifying and overwhelming.
At The Brain Accelerator, we know and understand the challenges you and your child face daily—reading avoidance, homework anxiety, and feeling defeated when they fall behind their peers. We know you are watching as these daily battles begin to chip away at their confidence, leaving you wondering how to help.
What's truly empowering is knowing that you can take proactive, effective steps to support your child’s cognitive and emotional growth.
In fact, as shown in The Matthew Effect, children who fall behind in reading early tend to fall even further behind over time. The gap between good and poor readers widens significantly with age, making early intervention crucial. You may hear things like, “I hate reading,” “I’m dumb,” or “Why is this so hard for me?”—not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re overwhelmed. If your child gets upset during homework, avoids books, or acts out when it’s time to read or write, the issue might not be behaviour—it could be a processing difficulty. Many traditional reading programs fail to produce lasting results because they focus on teaching reading skills without addressing the underlying cognitive skills that support them.
Our Cognitive Skills Assessment pinpoints the real reason behind your child’s struggles—dyslexia, poor working memory, weak attention, or slow auditory processing—and gives you a clear, natural path forward (without relying on medication or just classroom accommodations).
Let’s close the gap before it grows.

“He’s much more prepared to do his homework without a struggle.
Tasks he used to avoid—and that always felt like a battle— are no longer such a challenge. Now, he’s much more open to giving them a try.”
