That’s why every Davis Programme is delivered one-to-one, moving at the pace of the learner and focusing on their personal goals.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation. A no-obligation meeting to discover talents, assess challenges, and ensure we are a perfect fit.
Step 2: The Intensive Week. Dive into the Davis Tools and Clay Mastery. We build momentum over 30–48 hours of focused, 1:1 discovery.
Step 3: Support Training. I don't just work with the student; I empower a support person (parent or friend) with the skills to keep the momentum going at home.
Step 4: Lifelong Habits. Includes three follow-up review sessions and unlimited phone/email support to ensure the tools become second nature.

To create lasting change, we work in "intensives." This allows the brain to fully immerse itself in the new tools without the distractions of daily life.
🔸The Standard Intensive: Most dyslexia programmes consist of 30 to 35 hours of one-to-one engagement. This is typically completed over five consecutive days (Monday–Friday, 9am to 3pm or 4pm), in my quiet Waikanaes studio —a perfect 'retreat' environment away from the pressures of school or the office. Specialist programmes can vary in length from 42-60 hours.
🔸Younger Learners (Ages 5–8):
Our Foundations for Reading programme is designed for shorter attention spans, usually delivered in ten 3-hour blocks over two weeks.
🔸The Daily Rhythm: We include a full hour for lunch and regular "brain breaks" to ensure the learner stays fresh, relaxed, and oriented throughout the day.
Looking for a different schedule? We can often adapt the timing to suit your family’s specific needs—just ask during your Discovery Call.
Get a Head Start
To get the most out of your programme, I highly recommend reading or listening to Ron Davis’s seminal works:

The Gift of Dyslexia
(For reading, writing, and spelling)

The Gift of Learning
(for ADHD, maths or dysgraphia)
Wow that’s all I can say about Rachel, her caring made me feel humble. She never once got upset with me, which is important. The way she made me feel was “You can do this.”
Even now, not completely finished, it amazes me how my writing style has improved immensely.
Much better than I could’ve imagined “giggle” and I’m not finished.
It feels like my consciousness has really been changed by the training.
I’m typing my file notes as I want them to be read, without changing them to find easier words.
I had an incident at work this week…without too much stress I wrote what I thought was an excellent incident note, the Davis Dyslexia method takes out the worry of spelling."
