a new direction for dyslexia correction
The Program

|
This program follows procedures outlined in the book, The Gift of Dyslexia,
by Ronald D. Davis. Each program is individualized according to goals specified by the client.
Advanced procedures not outlined in the book are also included in the program.
 |
The Davis Dyslexia Correction Program® offers tools and
techniques that best matches the client's learning style. |
 |
These tools, techniques, and procedures are unique and
differ from those offered in the regular school setting. |
 |
This Program is offered only by a licensed facilitator from
the Davis Dyslexia Association International®. |
 |
The Program is equally suited to children ages 7-8 and
above through adult. |
 |
The Program trains the client to view his surroundings in an
oriented state, thus allowing him to see and hear exactly what is there,
not what is thought to be there. |
 |
Children receiving additional remediation services are able
to use those services more effectively following the Program. |
 |
The client's own realization of a problem and motivation are
essential ingredients of the Program's success. |
 |
The Program is based on 30 hours, over 5-day period. It is
intensive, but fun. |
 | Following the initial Program, continuation of the
Davis Symbol
Mastery® steps is essential for maximum success. |
The following disabilities may also be corrected through the
Davis® procedures:
 |
Auditory Perception disorder |
 |
Handwriting Difficulties (dysgraphia) |
 |
Math Difficulties (dyscalcula) |
 |
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) |
 |
Program setting is one-on-one, given by a licensed and
professional facilitator. |
 |
Program hours are generally 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday
through Friday. Lunch is on your own and scheduled from 11:30-12:30. Special
scheduling arrangements may be available upon request. |
 |
Support training is included for family members and others
