I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned. (startrek.website)

Yes dyslexia effects, different people differently like every disorder. But its well known that sans serif, monospaced fonts improve reading and spelling overall in everyone with dyslexia. Which is supported by this research article https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262320823_Good_fonts_for_dyslexia

No it doesn't.

Every time you look at cursive it just looks like a series of random squiggles. If you already have problems with character recognition how is making it illegible going to help?

It makes each one one thing. Some if my family were given cursive kessons sooner to help them. It more about helping them write not so much help for the reader.
