Grant
The Davis Dyslexia Program administered by Cathy Cook has made an amazing difference in my son! His self confidence has improved, as has his ability to focus. The most amazing thing is that his ability to read, without errors, increased 4 grade levels from initial testing to the post-program testing. After years of therapy and searching for answers, he is finally equipped with the tools he has needed for so long.

Wyatt
After completing the Davis Dyslexia Correction program with Cathy at OnPoint Learning, our son was happier, more confident and more successful with his school work. We continue to see improvement, as we work through the homework, making all the trigger words from clay. Cathy Cook and The Gift of Dyslexia have been invaluable in understanding how our son's thinking patterns work and how he can be a gifted learner in many areas, yet struggle to demonstrate some of his learning in traditional school settings.
Wyatt's gift of dyslexia
Prior to understanding The Gift of Dyslexia we and some of his educators would become frustrated with inconsistencies in Wyatt's performance that seemed unexplainable. However, these frustrations fit perfectly when we saw our son was a picture learner who was being taught with linear learning methods. Understanding the difference and using the tools from the program have been life changing for our family!

Brygan
Brygan recently passed a test (in 90 seconds) recognizing over 400 site words! Last week he bought a new chapter book at the book fair but thought it was going to be too hard to read. But once he started reading, by the second chapter, he was reading whole chapters at a time.
Then I caught him up in his bed, with a flashlight, reading the final chapter by himself (I almost cried!)

We first met with Cathy at OnPoint Learning Center almost two years ago. My daughter had just turned 9 and had completed the 3rd grade in public school. The teacher had recommended my daughter be retained because her reading comprehension was below a 1st grade level and because of other issues with "immaturity".
We had my daughter tested at a vision correction center. In their words, my daughter was ..."Baffling. We've never had a child score so high on IQ yet so profoundly below grade level on all the skills tests. We think we can help your daughter and we'd like to try a 30 week program of correction."
Their lack of confidence led me to believe there had to be a better option.
I spent over an hour talking/listening with Cathy long distance and couldn't wait to meet her. She understood my daughter. She knew things without me having to explain. She was confident that she could help my daughter and boy did she ever!
My daughter went from a pre-school level of comprehension in reading to devouring the Twilight series which is a Jr. High level book. The transition was not immediate, we had our work cut out for us but the transition has been amazing! A child who couldn't read for 5 minutes without getting sick to her stomach now reads for hours on end and gets mad when the book is taken away.
I challenge you to read the Gift of Dyslexia by Ron Davis and see if your child isn't described. I know I cried multiple times because so many things became clear. Cathy helped us learn and implement the tools that Davis has created. We are forever grateful.

Lane
When Lane returned to OnPoint Learning for a review session the progress he'd made was remarkable. He was able to work without prompts or reminders, of any kind, to get focused, how to master words, and ihow to use the reading exercises. He brought with him the medals he'd earned at school for his academic excellence. What a difference; his grades have improved tremendously since the time before his program.
