The Solution
What we need to do is resolve the confusion. Our tool is clay. This way we can create 3-D images of the meaning of any word or concept that is confusing, using a medium that caters to the visual learning style a creative person is usually most comfortable and successful with.
Self-management tools are discussed and their use practiced, enabling an individual to focus without stress on the task at hand. These tools are also the basis for overcoming attention problems and hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD) without resorting to drugs.
We work on balance, fostering a relaxed yet centered approach to learning.
In this way, proven new methods are used to overcome problems with:
- reading
- spelling
- writing
- arithmetic
- attention (ADD/ADHD)
- communicating with others.
Certain medications seem to interfere with the use of the self management tools which are the basis for a Davis® Program. It will be necessary to evaluate individually whether a person on behavior modifying medication will benefit from this method.
