What if you or your child were struggling with dyslexia and you didn't know about a medication-free program that has successfully treated thousands of adults and children with learning disabilities? The Davis Dyslexia Correction® Program is an effective way to treat learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder, including hyperactivity. Cathy Dodge Smith of Oakville, a special-education professional for more than thirty-five years, discovered the Davis Dyslexia Correction Program shortly after completing her doctorate in psychology at the University of Toronto in 1997. She is now one of only 28 people in Canada certified as Davis Dyslexia Correction program facilitators. Her greatest joy is helping adults and children with learning disabilities overcome their struggles with reading, writing, mathematics, and attention deficit disorder. Until Ronald D. Davis discovered how to correct his own dyslexia in 1984, no one knew it could be done. His book, The Gift of Dyslexia, published in 1994, has revolutionized our understanding of the causes of dyslexia (usually called "learning disabilities" in Canada) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). CORRECT DYSLEXIA AND ADD Most people still believe that learning disabilities is a life-long neurological dysfunction and that ADD can best be treated with stimulant medication. Thanks to Ron Davis, we now know this is simply not the case.
