The Gift Of Dyslexia
 From
Library Journal
Ron Davis emphasizes child development,
psychology, and education rather than medical treatment. As
a dyslexic individual and a teacher, he offers a unique perspective
on the subject of learning disabilities. Through his own real-life
experiences he shares what everyone needs to know about dyslexia,
what the dyslexic student encounters in a typical school,
and what is needed to teach such students effectively. To
support his conclusion that dyslexics have special talents
of perception, imagination, and intuition, Davis cites talented
and brilliant figures from Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci
to Churchill and Walt Disney. He concludes with a test, written
in simple language and printed in a large typeface to make
it easier to read.

explains the concepts of Davis Dyslexia Correction (R) for
