Richard
One of the personal goals that Richard, a 60 self-employed IT consultant, wanted to address in his Davis programme was to improve his time management skills. He explained that there never seemed to be enough time in the day to complete the jobs that he had set for himself. He would embark on DIY and gardening projects but not finish them. Upon completion of the programme, Richard commented: “At last I feel on top of things…there seems to be so much more time in the day and I get more done. I am really pleased with the personal change that I have experienced during this 5 day course.”

The course helped him helped him to develop insights into his personal dyslexic characteristics and improve his attention skills. Mike explained how he
had benefited from the course: “I have slowed down in my approach to jobs and don’t rush in as I did in the past. I think more about how I prepare for tasks and can switch on my attention skills whenever I need to.
My writing ability has improved tremendously and makes a difference to my work. Overall, I am less self-conscious than before [of my dyslexic characteristics] and I am less hard on myself.”

Rachel
26 year old Rachel is a talented young artist with an honours degree in fine arts. A professional requirement to improve her mental arithmetic skills prompted her to find out more about dyslexia courses that addressed dyscalculia directly
and she chose to enrol on a Davis dyscalculia correction programme. The Davis approach acknowledges the dyslexic person’s preferred learning style, namely to learn through meaning and hands-on explanation, rather than by rote or repetition, and uses multi-sensory teaching strategies before moving to the traditional paper and pencil medium. Upon completion of the course, Rachel commented: “Now I feel in tune with my own personal learning style. I can use this multi-dimensional approach for myself [involving clay modelling and other visual aids] to help me in future learning situations. Learning through making mental pictures for myself helps me remember what I have learnt and helps me see [e.g. new concepts].”
