The Davis Approach is a holistic, positive, strengths-based learning method. It helps individuals access and maximise the power of their special talents and gifts, to overcome barriers to learning and success. This approach respects a person’s natural learning preference, while addressing the root causes of the challenges they face with learning.
A set of self-regulating mental tools that enable people to:
Achieve accurate perception
Maintain a relaxed state
Control energy levels and mood
Strengthen balance, perception and coordination
These tools combined, allow the person to be in an ideal state for learning and to effectively deal with confusion.
A hands-on approach using plastilina clay to help individuals create meaning for themselves. Throughout the program this approach taps into people’s creative picture-thinking and kinaesthetic (tactile) senses and leads to mastery of symbols, words and concepts.
Helps deal with potential confusions with letters, words and punctuation marks.
Helps with numerals, symbols, operations, and concepts.
Helps with mastering life-concepts and scenarios such as change, consequence, time, sequence, order and disorder.
My 10 year old son, Lachie, completed the Davis Dyslexia Mastery course with Rachel in September 2022. We noticed a positive change in his behaviour and interactions with others from day one, and knew that this was going to be different to everything else we’d tried. When Lachie started his course, he had an 8-8.5yr reading level and was at risk, was told that he would need continuous support to meet the curriculum level of Stage 6 in Mathematics by the end of the year, and was at a Year 1 (1B, beginning) writing level. Now, just four months on, Lachie is meeting the curriculum levels for his age in reading – 10.5-11.5yrs – has reached Stage 6 in mathematics and has increased his writing by five levels (2A, Advanced), so that he can now write at the same level of those starting at Yr 5! After years of seeing little to no improvement with other programs, this is absolutely incredible! Lachie is so much calmer and happier in himself, he can control his energy levels, his balance is better, he is so much easier to communicate with, and his connections with his peers, friends and family have improved. This course, and the follow up work has not been easy for Lachie but he is now seeing that his perseverance is paying off and creating the best version of himself is fully within his control.
