Thank you to DF who has recently finished working with me. He wrote

“Since doing these courses I have improved my confidence in my job, instead of holding back now I have had the confidence to organise things better and to put myself in different situations.”

I received this email from a lady, 5 years after her daughter completed her programme:

“In 2003 my daughter spent a week … on your program. Well she’s writing matric finals in 2 weeks time. Over the last few years I’ve seen her make quantum leaps. When we started off this year she wanted to do hair dressing – but by the time she wrote  her prelims she ended with a C+ aggregate. She now wants to specialise in special learning needs.
I will always be eternally grateful to you for making that difference in A’s life.”

This is an extract from a letter written by the mother of an eleven-year-old girl six months after she completed her programme. Her goals were to improve her reading level, spelling and self confidence.

“I am so grateful to have found the Davis approach, as we had been stumbling around in the dark, for most of C’s schooling, knowing that she was very bright and yet unable to read the simplest words. As we progress with modelling the trigger words, her reading skills have soared – she is already sounding so much more fluent, and is not feeling as stressed as she was previously when having to read in front of the class. A heart-felt thank you to you for your wonderful input so far.”

This boy was 13 when he completed his programme. He had one goal which was to return to mainstream school. This what his mother wrote 1 month after he started at his new school.

“The school have …really embraced the fact that a Dyslexic kid is not a stupid one and have recently given my phone number to another desperate mom whose child appears to be Dyslexic, so it would seem they are impressed with the way he is overcoming his problem.Overall he loves the school. He says it is so much more interesting. Apparently he is extremely funny and the other kids enjoy having him around. He takes his Koosh balls to school in a little bag he made for them and teaches all his friends to play!! He thinks that making clay models is the solution to all reading problems and is very ready and willing to show all his mates how it’s done!…All in all it’s a very far cry from the Remedial Centre he was in and there is not a day that goes by that we are not truly grateful that we came across you and the Davis Program.”

S (28) was studying at college. She wanted to improve her writing skills, reading comprehension and understand how to structure her thoughts.These two emails were received two months after her programme.

8 May “I have been very busy doing (college) home work. I have been using a lot of the mind mapping to organize my mind before answering the questions and I think it’s going well. I hand my paper in on Wednesday, so we’ll see. I actually can’t wait to get my results back for the first time in my life I feel like I’m handing something in that is the closest reflection to what I actually want to say, so THANK YOU. “

17 May ”Just a little news…. I got 100% for my exam and the highest in the class. I’m so proud of myself and thrilled that all my hard work paid off. … Thank you once again.”

This is an extract from an email received from a boy’s mother two years after he completed his programme.

“.. I am still so grateful to you and the Davis program for all you did for him. He is going into a main stream academic High School next year.
His reading is actually coming on nicely. … I bought him a fancy cell phone for his birthday and he is actually chatting to his friends on mxit!

So fantastic to see my dyslexic son communicating via the written word!”

N did his programme when he was ten. His goals were to improve his reading and reduce the stress headaches which he described as ‘a monkey and weasel fighting in his head.’

N, supported by his mother and the school, worked diligently to implement his follow-up programme. The benefits were clear, four months later, when his mother sent this email:

“I had especially wanted to contact you at the end of last term to tell you how well N had done. He came 12th in class out of 25 children. At the end of last year he came 24th. Quite a jump. He came 11th in English and 6th in both maths and social studies. As you know we have stayed off the Ritalin and tried hard to implement the habits of the Davis method. It seems to be paying off.”

This email was received from the father of a nine-year-old girl six months after she completed her programme. Her goals were to increase her reading fluency and comprehension. She later returned for a Maths Programme.He has kept in touch over the last three years to send updates on her progress.

”After following the course with you, she settled into a routine whereby she would several times a day check her balance as well as do one word using the special techniques taught in the Davis programme. She told me that the blank ‘pictures’ coming in her mind started to go down. Her teachers also remarked on a ‘jump’ in her level of her understanding after reading any material. Now she is able to very quickly check her balance and re-centre if it is out of sync.

She also regularly practices with the koosh balls and it is remarkable that such a simple exercise has changed her life so much.Thanks to the Davis Programme, she managed to increase her level of English enough to be able to get a place in … one of the best schools…”Back to top.
