Before the workshop, please watch THIS VIDEO about the Davis approach and the workshop.

The  Davis Dyslexia Programme was developed by Ronald Davis to overcome his  own learning difficulties. Davis sees dyslexia as a talent. It is the  ability to think multi-dimensionally, to shift or alter mental and  physical perceptions. This explains why so many dyslexics are creative,  offer unusual solutions to problems, are very intuitive or have vivid  imaginations.

The Davis Dyslexia Programme helps the individual to discover his innate gift, and to apply it to the  learning difficulty. In this way, the blockages to effective learning  are removed. Clients are shown how to clear up confusions regarding  letters, numbers, words and language symbols and are aided in the  process by the use of clay.

The Gift of  Dyslexia Workshop is a comprehensive introduction to the Davis Dyslexia  techniques for parents and/or professionals.
