Empowering our lives with the Gift of Dyslexia
Our revolutionary, drug-free approach is geared toward the creative thinking strengths of individuals with dyslexic-learning styles. It combines specific techniques that resolve perceptual problems and attention focusing issues with a method for mastering sight words and improving reading fluency and comprehension.
Children and adults can learn to recognize and control the mental state that leads to distorted and confused perceptions of letters, words and numerals. Instead of relying on repetition, phonics, drill and memorization we focus on the talents of the dyslexic learning style. Our hands-on, visual and meaning-based approach leads to more rapid progress then traditional instruction.
There are alternatives to getting past the barriers in learning. We offer real strategies to improve reading comprehension; strategies for getting the words you're thinking written down on paper, improved self-confidence and so much more!
Below is more information about Programs for all ages in reading, writing, math and focusing.

The program is geared toward children and adults from age eight on up.This is an intensive program of individual counseling and guidance that breaks down major learning barriers. Results are often dramatic with noticeable reading improvements.

Attention Deficit Disorder As a person's perception of time changes, physical strength and stamina can also change. The person whose internal clock moves faster seems to live two or three minutes compared to the actual minute that occurs. Not only does he have more time, he has greater strength and stamina. The world goes too slowly for him and he goes too fast for everyone else. Behavioral problems can result.
Drug-free
Davis Dyslexia programs include specific tools for self-regulating attention focus and energy level. Mental focusing and energy control techniques enable children and adults to work and study without reliance on medications commonly prescribed for ADHD. These tools allow motivated students to assume responsibility for regulating their own behavior.
