"Why is reading, spelling, and writing so hard for me? Everyone else seems to get it….I must be stupid!"

Nothing could be further from the truth! But for a person struggling with Dyslexia, such experiences can erode self-esteem and limit potential.

Dyslexia is vastly misunderstood, not only by parents, teachers, and the medical community, but by dyslexics themselves. Although most people associate Dyslexia with letter reversals and reading difficulties, Dyslexia encompasses a much larger umbrella of characteristics and symptoms.

At one time, Dyslexia was defined as deficiency in brain function - a disability. We now know, however, that Dyslexia is not a result of a genetic flaw - or brain, eye, or ear malfunction - it is a difference in thinking and learning style that can cause confusion when dealing with symbols.

In fact, some of our culture's most talented people are dyslexic - as is true for many of the pioneers in technology, physics, and art. Their gift of multi-dimensional thinking enables imaginative powers, but can also trigger confusion and disorientation with symbols (letters, words and numerals). This understanding is the key to controlling symptoms of Dyslexia.

Today, there is real relief for the 10-20% of children and adults who have experienced the struggle, frustration, and self-esteem-crushing symptoms of Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, and the many other variations that accompany the same thinking style, including (but not limited to):

• Dyslexia
• ADD or ADHD
• Reading disability
• Language-based learning disability
• Dyspraxia (balance)
• Dyscalculia (math)
• Dysgraphia (hand writing)
• Auditory processing disorder
• Visual processing disorder

Based on the revolutionary book, The Gift of Dyslexia ©1994 by Ronald D. Davis, the Davis™ programs offer creative-based solutions for clients worldwide.

ReSet, located in Ladysmith, BC, is pleased to offer the first Vancouver Island-based Davis™ Programs to clients aged 8 and up. These week-long, intensive, goal-oriented programs are designed for adults and children whose thinking and learning styles have not fit well with traditional approaches to education. Facilitated one-to-one in a fun and supportive setting, clients leave with life-changing tools and experiences to enable them to control their orientation when accuracy matters. For instance:
