What is dyslexia?
There are many theories about what dyslexia is and what causes it. Ron Davis, author of the acclaimed bestseller The Gift of Dyslexia, believes that dyslexia is the result of two important mental characteristics: a natural ability to alter perception and the tendency to think in pictures.
People gifted with dyslexia are:
Highly aware of their environments
Curious about the way things work
Are "picture-thinkers"
Have vivid imaginations
This is what Ron Davis and his program recognize as being the gifts of dyslexia, and these gifts are used as keys to unlock clients own learning potential.
What are the basic ideas behind the Davis Dyslexia Correction Program ?
Davis Dyslexia Correction® provides tools to overcome problems with:
Reading
Handwriting
Spelling
Mathematics
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
Motor Coordination
Auditory Perception
Time & Order
The methods in the five-day, one-on-one program enable children and adults to recognize and control the mental processes that cause distorted perceptions of letters and words. One of these tools is Davis Orientation Counseling®¨, in which clients learn to use a mental on-off switch to overcome their visual perception problems. This new and unique procedure allows clients to see the world of books, letters and numbers as a non-dyslexic would naturally.
Once students can be sure that their perceptions are accurate, they can resolve the underlying cause of their learning difficulties through methods that build upon their creative and imaginative strengths.
The program rapidly gets to the cause of the problem. Then, the symptoms fall away.
