  This is the foundational course of the Davis Program. If your son or daughter is having difficulties at school with reading, writing, spelling, understanding verbal instructions (auditory processing disorders), then this is the right program.

37 Characteristics of Dyslexia) then this is the program for you.
 
PROGRAM CONTENTS

The Basic Tools
During the 5 day intensive program you will learn strategies to help you deal with confusion with symbols. You will

Learn how to recognize and control your mental state

When you become confused about letters, words and numerals, you will acrtually learn how to turn off that confusion. This is a very simple  and easy mental technique called Davis Orientation Counseling®. The trick is to find out when you need to clear the fog (“orient” yourself) and to practice it again and again until it becomes second nature to you. You will learn how to come back and re-focus on what you were doing before the confusion took place.

Master symbols and words - for reading comprehension

The procedure we use for this is Davis Symbol Mastery ®. It means using clay to put abstract symbols and words into a full 3-dimensional model. Why? Because the dyslexic thinks in pictures, and in full 3-D ones.  So by creating abstract symbols in 3-dimensional models, we are appealing to his natural thinking style.

We begin with the alphabet and punctuation marks to clear up any uncertainties you may have. We want you to be very, very secure and sure of whatever you do.  Then we tackle the trigger words, which are the most frequent words you will find in every text, in any language. These are words such as from, with, the. These words make it difficult for any dyslexic to read because no mental picture of the meaning of the word comes easily to mind as they are reading along in their text.

So what would be more natural for a person with multi-dimensional thinking that to create a 3-D model of the meaning of the word (in clay), together with the letters that spell that word. These images are then stored away in the brain’s memory networks. In this way, one by one, words are mastered. Learning words in this way is then permanent!  Reading improves.


Practice and applying these skills and strategies to whatever your needs are

Once these foundation skills are in place, then you and I together will define exactly what areas you want to address in depth during the last day or two of the program.
