 Ronald D. Davis discovered that dyslexia
is not an inherent condition, but a developed one. It is, in effect,
a defense mechanism against the confusion that results from the way
the person’s brain processes information – it is a way of thinking
and learning - a gift.
Persons
who develop dyslexia possess a special gift, a brain that is highly
talented and intuitive. As a result they have chosen to think mainly
in pictures rather than words. Dyslexia is partly inherited; the
tendency to develop dyslexia runs in families. Because our brain
continues to grow and develop from birth through adulthood, dyslexia
is also influenced by learning experiences and environmental
factors.
 Because
dyslexics think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for them to
understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words. The anatomy
of what an individual with a dyslexic, ADD/ADHD thinking and
learning style experiences in an academic or social setting may be
very familiar to you, reader – look for yourself -
Anatomy of a Symptom of Dyslexia. They
can learn to read, write and study efficiently when they use methods
geared to their unique learning style. Dyslexics don’t think with
the sounds of words; they just see pictures. They don’t learn words
by breaking them up into pieces of sound – that just confuses them
and then they become frustrated because they can’t understand what
is being said. After a while they stop hearing; just hearing bits
and pieces and then they go off – think about something else they
like.

more about how Davis Orientation Counseling® provides tools for
correcting perception in Ronald Davis' breakthrough book,
The Gift of Dyslexia.
“To correct dyslexia effectively
we have to remove the actual cause of the dyslexic symptoms. When
the cause is removed, the obstructions to learning are removed and
learning can take place easily and naturally. Correcting dyslexia is
a question of removing what is preventing the natural ability to
learn. When done properly a dyslexic child will learn quickly and
thoroughly, and enjoy it! Thousands of children and adults have been
able to remove their obstacles to learning and go on to learn
whatever, whenever, and wherever they choose. Using
Davis Dyslexia Correction® they
have been able to take control of their learning process.” (Robin
