We have found the term "dyslexia" to be confusing to my kids and to people who know them. The stealth part of the dyslexia means that a lot of the stereotypical features of dyslexia, including much of what's in the Percy Jackson books, don't fit my kids.
We have instead focused on what it is about how their brain processes information that makes spelling and writing difficult, and how the Wilson/OG intervention helps to rewire the brain to make those skills more accessible and automatic to them.
Each kid has subsequently picked up on the fact that this is an intervention for dyslexia, and I think the OG tutor likely uses it with them as well. Each has asked me about it their own way, for which I've acknowledged that yes, the diagnosis is dyslexia, but there are specialists who would classify it as "stealth dyslexia," because it doesn't affect their reading skills significantly. They both think the term "stealth dyslexia" is hilarious, but my initial explanation to them feels more right to them.
