Each client teaches me about the creativity and unique abilities of the dyslexic and ADD thinking/learning style. We work one-on-one, and I individuate the program to address the client's specific needs and goals. The Davis techniques are highly effective for the visual-spatial learner because they utilize their learning strengths, and tap into their unique creative abilities. All Davis Programs are drug-free approaches and teach individuals how to focus attention and self-regulate their own energy levels; in addition to, resolving confusion with letters, words, numerals, and/or other language symbols that prevent reading fluency and comprehension.
