About Dyslexia

Dyslexia comes from the Greek meaning “difficulty with words.” It may encompass many areas of learning such as reading, spelling, comprehension, writing and math. The severity of the symptoms varies with each individual. Problems may appear in all academic areas or in just one area. Dyslexia is not a “disease” which demands a cure. Dyslexics are picture thinkers with creative multidimensional thinking minds that benefit from hands-on learning. Dyslexia truly is a “gift” one can learn to use through the Davis Program to make academics easier.
