Davis® Dyslexia Correction Program | Davis® Reading Program for Young Learners The Davis Dyslexia Correction® ProgramThe two major components of the Davis® Dyslexia Correction program are Orientation Counseling and Symbol Mastery. Davis Dyslexia Correction always includes both of these components. Davis Orientation Counseling® teaches dyslexic students how to recognize and control the mental state that leads to distorted and confused perceptions of letters, words and numerals. Through a simple mental technique, the students learn to turn off the thought processes that cause misperceptions. Instead, they are able to restore their minds to a relaxed and focused state, suitable for reading and other studies. Once Orientation is learned, the student is ready to build the conceptual skills that will allow them to overcome problems stemming from dyslexia. Davis Symbol Mastery® gives dyslexic students the ability to think with symbols and words, so they can learn to read easily and with full comprehension. Using clay, students first work with the alphabet, numerals, and punctuation marks, to make sure that they have an accurate perception and understanding of these symbols.

When Ron Davis' revolutionary book was published in 1994, The Gift of Dyslexia shone new light on visual-spatial learners and started a shift in perception about dyslexia. It has since been revised (1997, 2010) and translated into 17 different languages! His second book, The Gift of Learning, is now changing perceptions about ADD and ADHD. It also covers solutions for Dyscalculia (math) and Dysgraphia (handwriting). |
