Davis Dyslexia Correction
The Davis Dyslexia Correction method was created by Ron Davis who was considered ‘retarded’ until his early teens but went on to be an engineer and artist. Later in life he developed the Davis Dyslexia Correction method that utilises mental exercises and visualisation to overcome dyslexia which he described in his book, The Gift of Dyslexia. Ron Davis runs a treatment centre in California, US, and also runs training courses in Davis Dyslexia Correction so that other practitioners can teach his methods. Dyslexia.com provides further information on training courses and Davis Dyslexia Correction practitioners worldwide.

I would like to hear from anyone who has gone through the Davis program. did it work? How beneficial are the long term effects – was the improvement still there one year later?

I came across the Davis programme soon after realising my son had dyslexia. Keen to help him we visited a Davis Dyslexia facilitator a few times and then continued at home during the summer holidays. We used the guide at the back of the book ‘The Gift of Dyslexia’ by Ronald Davis, for all the small words that are a problem. My son, around 12 at the time, really enjoyed the modelling in clay aspect. We normally did one or two words per day.
When he returned to school in the autumn term, I held off asking him about his reading for some weeks. Then when I did ask him, he thought for a while and said that yes, it really was a lot easier to read now.
I had worked hard when he was young to help him to read, resorting to ideas like him jumping on words written on paper and placed on the floor. It never occurred to me that he was showing signs of dyslexia.
Anyway, today he is now 21, and the advances he made over that summer holiday were permanent.
However, that was just the beginning of my understanding of dyslexia. Since then I have come to realise that it is not just reading that is affected, it affects the way the dyslexic views and interprets the world, and the physical impact on the whole body.
The Davis programme is a good place to start though.
