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. I came across the Davis programme soon after realising my son had dyslexia.

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