THE DAVIS® PROGRAM

The Davis Dyslexia Correction Program® is 30 hours' long. It is usually provided in five consecutive days, usually Monday to Friday, for 6 hours a day. It is given on a one-to-one basis and is designed to cater for the client's individual needs.

Correcting dyslexia is not a matter of teaching a student how to learn, but of removing what is preventing the child’s natural ability to learn. Learning the basic Davis® techniques is a way to give the client control over his learning process.

The client's reading, writing, spelling and handwriting will improve, as well as his/her balance and coordination. What is special about the Davis® Program is that the client will be trained on how to use creativity as a learning tool to overcome academic difficulties.

Motivation is the key factor in the success of the Davis Program.
