Most people think dyslexia
is only a reading problem, because this is the common understanding
of the disability. However, it also had problems with math,
handwriting and many symptoms of ADD, such as staying focused
or sitting still. Some students displayed problems with just
one or two areas; some had problems with all three, some just
with reading.
Understanding the true nature of a problem is a prerequisite
to finding a real solution. If any problem isn't fully understood,
attempts to solve it won't be very effective.
The Davis®
approach resolves the root causes of problems experienced
by individuals with language-based learning difficulties.
What Ron Davis and his team of co-workers did was to take
the understanding of what causes dyslexia and produce a treatment
that successfully removes this cause. Using the Davis®
methods of dyslexia thousands of children and adults have
been able to take control of their learning process. They
can learn to read, write and study efficiently when using
methods geared to their unique learning style.
The ideal time for an intervention program is before these
behaviors become lifelong patterns. But, it is never too late.
Dyslexics of all ages - from seven to seventy - have been
able to fill in the gaps with the Davis methods.
In addition to the basic Davis®
techniques, other specialized Davis®
methods for conditions such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder),
ADHD (Hyperactivity), Dysgraphia (Handwriting) and Dyscalculia
(Maths) are used when appropriate to meet the individual needs. |
