Choosing a Programme

The Programme

The Davis Programme is a 30-hour one-week programme which is facilitated one-on-one. Each programme is customized to address the client’s specific goals and areas for improvement. Because it is a creative programme and is designed for the learning style of the visual-spatial person, clients work with their natural strengths and talents to overcome their learning obstacles. While many other programmes address only the symptoms of the learning disability, the Davis methods get to the root cause of the learning difficulty. Clients will leave with the ability to implement the knowledge obtained during the programme into daily life.

The programme provides the client with all of the tools, understanding, and materials necessary to implement the strategies into their every day lives and achieve positive results. Davis Symbol Mastery® of 219 “trigger words” (those words that do not have a visual image) is an essential part of the correction of Dyslexia. Support Training is provided on the last day for family members, tutor(s) and/or teacher(s) who will support the client in this follow-up.

Clients leave with a Student Kit with all supplies necessary to continue the follow-up work at home.

Included in the Programme

  • The Dyslexia Correction and Attention Mastery Programs take 30 hours. This is usually scheduled over 1 week (Monday – Friday) with the last half of the last day spent with support training for the adults who will take this role.
  • A full Davis kit is supplied with these programmes
  • Up to 6 hours of support follow up sessions are included
  • Unlimited phone, email and video help calls
  • Support personnel need to be present for the last half of the last day.
  • The Young Learner programme needs to be paced separately for each individual so is charged at an hourly rate.
  • A parent (or the support must be present for at least 50% of the sessions.) Most parents sit in for all sessions.
  • A Davis Young Leaner Kit is an additional cost of $150
  • As with the Dyslexia correction programme, 6 hours of support follow up sessions are included, along with unlimited phone, email and video help calls.
  • The Maths Mastery Programme is often most successfully completed after a Dyslexia Correction Programme. When this happens it usually takes an additional 3 days.  If the maths mastery is undertaken on its own it will take 8 days. Many people have found doing the Dyslexia Correction Program first and then waiting 6 months they have not felt the need to go on with the Maths programme. If they do continue with the maths programme after a few months gap, the skills and strategies learnt and then mastered over the intervening months lead to a very successful maths program. As with the Dyslexia Correction Programme:
    • A full Davis Maths kit is supplied with these programmes
    • Up to 6 hours of support follow up sessions are included
    • Unlimited phone, email and video help calls
    • Support personnel need to be present for the last half of the last day.

Overview of the Davis Programmes

Davis Orientation Counseling®, as outlined in The Gift of Dyslexia by Ronald D. Davis, provides clients with the ability to detect and self-correct distorted perception caused by confusion with letters, words, numerals, and other symbols.

Working with clay allows for confusion to be realized and resolved – in a multi-dimensional, creative way that fits the dyslexic thinking and learning style.

Clients start by resolving confusion with the basic literacy symbols, including letters (above) and punctuation marks.

Clients then work with clay to master words that do not give them a picture. We call these “trigger words” and there are 219 words identified by Davis that need to be mastered. Most of these words will be done at home, after the one-week programme.

Clients are also provided with the Davis® Reading Exercises, as outlined in the “Three Steps to Easier Reading” chapter of The Gift of Dyslexia.

These reading exercises provide clients with fundamental skills that create certainty and prevent out of context guessing. The Spell Reading, Sweep-Sweep-Spell, and Picture at Punctuation exercises were designed to improve left-right eye tracking, recognition of letter groups as words, and comprehension.

They boost confidence and certainty – which is a welcome relief for clients who know what it feels like to be uncertain while reading!
