Famous Dyslexics

All of these extremely accomplished and well-known people share something in common…The GIFT of Dyslexia.

Although many would believe that their success was obtained DESPITE Dyslexia, we contend that their success was obtained BECAUSE of their gifted, multi-dimensional, thinking style.

Testimonial

Shane - Age 15

"I can think easily now. I can see accurately and words are coming out at me more easily and reading and writing are easier now. I feel much better about me now — I'm more focused."

Nirveli - Age 9

"My reading is much better and I can spell and remember the words now. I feel better, and more happy."

Lana - Age 25

"I feel much less anxious. I'm better with these [Davis] coping strategies in emotionally charged situations. I have more logical sequential thinking now when I want to."

Ash - Age 13

"I can read better and I know how to use clay [to master letters and words]. I can use a dictionary better now, and I understand and see punctuation. I know how to get my "mind's eye" on point and I go to sleep better. I know my alphabet now."

Lynne - Age 53

"I am more coherent. I'm not as dominant and I'm not losing what I say all the time. I'm also getting better at pronouncing words which has always been a problem. The experience was more intense than I thought...but I feel more confident. [I was] surprised how the techniques have improved my concentration!"
