How does the Davis® Program work? 

Once a client has been identified to be a good candidate for the program through the initial meeting, the client learns to correct perception and control disorientation. The intensive mastering process helps with overcoming confusion in a fun and creative manner.

Will follow-up work be necessary?

For continued improvement and success after completion of a Davis® program, a planned schedule will be created and will need to be followed. The amount of time dedicated to daily follow-up varies depending on each client’s goals.

Can adults benefit from the program?

 

Adults, when motivated, bring a level of maturity and self-awareness that make them excellent candidates for Davis® programs. The tools they learn will help them deal with the stresses of daily life and help them improve the quality of their lives.

How is Davis® different from other programs?

 

Davis® methods go to the root of the problems that cause learning disabilities. It focuses on the natural talents and strengths of the client and they are designed especially for the learning style of visual-spatial learners. Clients learn how they can use the knowledge they have learned to improve their daily lives. It does not use phonics, rote memorization, repetition, and drill, all of which do not help with dealing with the root cause of dyslexia. The follow-up work can be done on your own schedule and at home.

How much improvement can be expected from the Davis® program?

 

Clients leave the Davis® program with the ability to control their disorientation, focus at will, the knowledge on how to eliminate confusion in symbols, and an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem due to improved reading, writing, math, and physical skills. The continued success will depend on how they continue to follow-up and keep up with the Davis® Symbol Mastery.

How can homeschooled children benefit from The Program?

 

The Davis® program's follow-up schedule works incredibly well since it can be incorporated seamlessly in a homeschooled environment. It complements the homeschooling curriculum very well. All the materials needed for the follow-up are provided after the program.

Are there other diagnoses that a Davis® program can help with?

  • Language-Based Learning Disability

  • Reading Disability

  • Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD/ADHD)
