Frequently Asked Questions

The client will first learn how to correct perception and disorientation at will. This is accomplished via Davis Orientation methods as outlined in The Gift of Dyslexia by Ronald D. Davis.
The client will then learn how to master the basic symbols for reading and writing by creating the alphabet and abstract words using clay. This is a fun and easy way for clients to overcome confusions.

Then we show them a simple 3-step process to be able to read and understand text.

After the program, recommended follow-up work must be completed in order to maintain and continue improvement. Training in this is included in the programme for the client and support person/s.

In order to ensure continued success and improvement after your DavisTM Mastery for Dyslexia Program, continued use of the Davis tools and follow-up work must be completed. Time frames will vary depending upon each client’s personal goals and support situation. There is about 72 hours work and at 2 hours per week this will take about 9 months to complete. Younger clients (5-9 years) may take up to 18 months at 1 hour per week. Motivated adults may choose to do more, for example, at 4 hours per week it can be completed in 4.5 months.

The Davis Mastery for Maths programme is about 15 hours of follow up work, plus, if needed, time needed to master basic maths facts which can be up to 50 hours depending on the gaps in the client’s knowledge.

Yes! At the age of 38, Ron Davis discovered the tools that allowed him to correct perception and, for the first time in his life, read an entire book in one sitting. After his discovery, the programme was further tested and developed by working with adult Dyslexic volunteers. Then the programme was adapted to work with children.

Motivated adults bring a level of maturity and self-awareness that make the programme extremely rewarding and successful.
Wellington Learning Solutions has helped adults of all ages to improve their reading, writing, spelling, maths, focus, organisational skills and stress-levels.

The Davis® methods address the root cause of learning disabilities. This positive, creative-based programme is designed for the learning style of the visual-spatial person. It uses the natural strengths and talents of the client’s personal learning style which is why our clients find it easy. Clients will learn how they learn and leave with the ability to implement the knowledge obtained during the programme into daily life.

The programme does not use phonics, coloured-overlays, rote memorization, or repetitive drill – which address only the symptoms, not the root cause of dyslexia. It does not hammer away at weaknesses which is tiring and causes stress.

Unlike other programs that require weekly visits over the course of many years, the Davis® Programme follow-up is done from the comfort of your own home…on your schedule…and at no additional cost to you.

Clients leave the programme with the tools of basic literacy including:

• The ability to recognize and correct disorientations at will
• The ability to focus attention
• The knowledge of how to eliminate confusions in words and symbols
• Increased self-confidence and ability in reading, writing, maths, organisation or physical skills

Implementing the tools into everyday life, as well as doing Davis Symbol Mastery® follow-up on trigger words, is necessary to ensure continued success with the programme.
