Why Davis

We offer a range of Davis Correction Programs for those with Learning Difficulties

The Davis Programs address the underlying causes and root issues.  Davis is a simple, easy, and fast way to help those affected by Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, APD,  learning difficulties.

Programs remove the triggers and therefore break the cycle.  We are able to replace prior confusion about letters, numbers, words, and language symbols with accurate perceptual images and thus give them true understanding.

We view dyslexia as a result of an inherent mental gift or talent.

People who develop dyslexia think in pictures, rather than words; they are imaginative and creative; and they try to solve problems by looking at the whole picture, instead of thinking step-by-step.

Davis Dyslexia Correction helps people overcome their learning problems through a strength-based approach that harnesses the mental talents that dyslexic people share. To achieve this, students use different strategies than are commonly taught, especially in the school environment.

Once dyslexic individuals recognise their mental talents, they can develop a new sense of confidence and self-esteem, and when they start to implement study methods which use their natural talents, then we start to see them progress very quickly.

Dyslexic students rely mainly on non-verbal thought processes. Since their main mode of thinking relies on pictures and other sensory impressions, they have difficulty thinking with the sounds of words and it is hard to try to read by breaking words down into sounds. Instead of  trying to force students to use a method that is naturally very difficult for them, Davis methods teach a visual and meaning-based approach that is much easier for dyslexic people to learn and use. This of course leads to much quicker progress than with traditional instruction. Unlike the slow progress and laboured reading that is often seen with phonics-based methods, Davis strategies support dyslexic students to become fluent, capable, and often enthusiastic readers!

The Davis method does not employ repetition or drill.

The Davis method does not rely on physical devices such as coloured overlays or large print books.

Dyslexia is a learning problem that affects the way they process information. It is not a result of problems with vision or hearing.

Dyslexic students often experience distortions in perception, but these problems are caused by mental disorientation. It is not a problem with eyes or ears, but instead the way the brain interprets the input from the sensory organs.

With the Davis approach, students learn to recognise disorientation as it happens and we teach them simple techniques to reorient themselves, so that they can maintain mental focus and accurately perceive what is going on around them.

The Davis method does not rely on medications or herbal treatments.

The Davis approach puts dyslexic students in control of their own learning and mental focus.

The individuals strengths and weaknesses are firstly assessed so we can establish unique goals for the program and tailor it to suit each and every student.
