Talented in art, drama, music, sports, mechanics, story-telling, sales, business, designing, building, or engineering. What an amazing week this was for Maryann! She was always full of excitement after spending the day with you. She was so happy with what she had accomplished. She now has a real sense of being able to be successful with her learning. She is bursting with self-confidence. That speaks volumes. You have given her so much…truly a GIFT! Parent Report, Canada -

Failure plus more failure plus more failure plus more failure for a child who has a low tolerance for failure, will trigger their genetic disposition for dyslexia. Their gift of mastery swindled them. Their gift of mastery caused their dyslexia. Tragic! Well, only if they never cross paths with Ron Davis. If they are fortunate enough to ‘meet’ him, it will be their gift of mastery that will correct their dyslexia without losing any of the abilities associated with dyslexia. After a Davis Dyslexia Correction program, dyslexia is no longer a barrier. The person has the tools needed for mastery and control of their dyslexia. Don’t share your hopes, fears, or secrets with them OR with anyone they talk to – they will use it against you. Listening through the opening chapters of the book I could feel it resonating with me – how my world is constructed of me thinking in pictures. This ability to perceive things allows me to process information faster and be more creative. An example of this is my job as an engineer: quite a lot of times I don’t need the computer-aided design software to see the solution or the part in 3-D. I’m quite happy to do that all in my head, and then use the software to illustrate it to other people. This ability has become my super move in quite a lot of situations.

Thank goodness my parents are in the school system and went to a teachers in service for dyslexia. A 2nd grade teacher and Davis certified instructor taught the class and cover dyscalculia (math dyslexia). Point by point my mother knew this was exactly what her grandchild had. The most common disabilities of dyslexia occur in reading, writing, spelling, or math; but there are many others. Each case of dyslexia is different, because dyslexia is an unintentionally self-created condition. No two dyslexics have created it exactly the same. Reading or writing shows repetitions, additions, transpositions, omissions, substitutions, and reversals in letters, numbers and/or words. Once as a guest on a television show, I was asked about the “positive” side of dyslexia. As part of my answer, I listed a dozen or so famous dyslexics. The hostess of the show then commented, “Isn’t it amazing that all those people could be geniuses in spite of having dyslexia.” To be in with a chance of winning a copy of Emma Dabiri’s new book along with this stunning pastel nail polish giftset from Télle Moi, simply…The Davis® approach is a highly effective, non-traditional suite of programs for dyslexia and other learning differences. Davis methods give individuals the tools to use their inherent, natural strengths to overcome specific areas of academic or workplace difficulties. The method was developed by Ronald D. Davis, after a breakthrough discovery enabled him to overcome his own severe dyslexia at the age of 38. Based on his research with other dyslexic adults, Davis opened a center in California in 1982. He continued to explore and refine his methods working with hundreds of clients, and twelve years later, in 1994, published the first edition of his book, The Gift of Dyslexia. The progress our son has made this year is remarkable. He is now able to complete a test within a class period. He has grown more confident as his skills improved. His time spent on homework has been cut in half and he is working independently. He is an honor roll student. Mother of 16 year old boy, Nebraska - Lo testimonia lo stesso Ron Davis nella prefazione raccontando un episodio della sua vita, un dolore vissuto direttamente sulla sua pelle di bambino dislessico affetto da enuresi diurna.

I am an IT consultant who works in the software testing aspect of IT; I have built myself a very successful career over about 15 or so years; I have always struggled with reading and writing; although have a great mind for solution and big picture views. I have just completed your amazing course. For the first time ever in my life I have become excited about reading (I’m nearly 40 years old!) My handwriting has changed so dramatically my wife did not believe it was mine! Paul, New Zealand - To celebrate the publication of #DisobedientBodies – the new manifesto on beauty from Emma Dabiri, the bestselling author of #WhatWhitePeopleCanDoNext – we’re running a giveaway with UK indie nail polish brand Télle Moi. Another advantage of the Davis program is that a Facilitator typically works one-on-one with their client for about a week (5 days) — and during that time the client learns the tools needed to continue on their own. So you get the tools you need right up front without having to commit to a long-term schedule of classes or sessions. Of course, you still can arrange for follow-up sessions with the Facilitator after the program if you need help or additional support- – but that’s not required. I think it's a great theory. It opened my eyes, as a Grade 3 teacher who has very poor visual-spatial reasoning, to the way some of my students might be learning and how I might better teach them. I can't speak to the teaching methods in these books but as a parent that has a smart, hard working kid that just wasn't understanding simple math this was a godsend.To explain it simply, while very young, dyslexic children develop a skill. This skill allows them to see things in a different way, be able to move around the place with their minds eye and somehow be able to deduce things that are not visible from where they're standing. This is possible because this is skill does not use our slow linear approach of thinking, but another very sophisticated non-linear approach. Dyslexics don't all develop the same gifts, but they do have certain mental functions in common. Here are the basic abilities all dyslexics share: This is the first book I've read about dyslexia and I found it a very informative introduction. The writer runs a reading institute that helps dyslexics learn to function normally. Since I'm unfamiliar with the different management strategies for dyslexia it's tough for me to wholeheartedly recommend this book. I'm hyperlexic, and can't imagine (nor remember, as I began reading aloud before age 2) looking at words in my native language and not being able to decipher the symbols into concepts and ideas. (I have poor visual imagination, however.) This book took my whole life on a wonderful new path; doing what I love every single day. It can transform your life too if you let it.
