Who can benefit from the Davis Dyslexia Correction® Program?
Anyone who possesses dyslexic characteristics and is self-motivated
to improve their abilities.
What kind of gains can a client expect to make?
- The ability to recognize and correct disorientation at will
- The ability to focus
- The knowledge of how to eliminate confusion about words
and symbols
- Increased ability in one or more areas such as reading,
spelling, handwriting, math, or physical skills
- The ability to apply a method of learning that comes very
naturally to those with dyslexic characteristics and can be used
throughout
a client’s entire life
- Increased self-confidence
How is this program different from others?
It’s fun. Many other programs only address the symptoms
of learning disabilities and involve a lot of repetition, which
can be boring and tedious to dyslexics. The Davis methods address
the root cause of learning disabilities and draw upon the natural
strengths and talents of the individual’s thinking and learning
styles. For example, clients use clay to create symbols, words
and concepts. It’s this sort of kinetic, active learning
that makes the Davis program so successful.
 What
happens after the program?
The client should master the entire list of 217 trigger words.
They can be completed over several months or longer depending on
the frequency of the Symbol Mastery tutoring sessions with a family
member, friend, or tutor. These same techniques can also be used
to master any word, concept, or subject.
Follow-up support is also included as part of the program and
consists of a Student Symbol Mastery Kit, Support Training for
client helper(s), telephone consultations, and up to three two-hour
return visits, as needed.
How much gain in ability can on be expected?
There is usually a marked difference by the last day of the program.
This is a literacy jumpstart. Future progress is determined by
an individual’s motivation and continued use of Symbol Mastery
and program tools after the session.
Can a person lose his/her natural abilities after the program?
No. The Davis Methods utilize the client’s strengths. It
unleashes the ability to learn more quickly and thoroughly. In
fact, their natural abilities are often enhanced.
