Watch your autistic child flourish.

This workshop addresses daily struggles like meltdowns, inability to describe feelings (even when something is clearly wrong), difficulties recognizing internal body signals like hunger, thirst, pain or needing the bathroom.

If you are facing daily struggles related to autism, this workshop is designed for you.

The Davis Method gives you the tools to guide a child, teenager or autistic adult through a life-changing series of tools and concepts that give them the ability to better understand themself, others and the world around them.

For those wanting to train with Davis Autism

If you are looking for standalone training or are a professional already working with autistic people, this workshop is the first step towards implementing the Davis Autism Approach.

The Davis Method uses signature clay modelling. It works by bringing abstract concepts like time, cause, effect and responsibility to life by modelling the concept, then integrating it into everyday life.

Professionals implementing the Davis Method in their practices report breakthroughs in treatment resistant clients.

If you want to become a Davis Autism Facilitator, this workshop is the first step in Davis Autism Training.

How does it work?

Over 5 days, you’ll learn the three most important methods to help an autistic person:

• Self-regulation tools: Davis’ signature mental strategies give individuals the ability to regulate stress, attention and energy levels to match their surroundings
• Life concepts: essential, but abstract concepts like time, consequence, and responsibility are difficult for an autistic mind to grasp. Their way of processing the world is through images. How do you form a mental image of responsibility? Through Davis clay modelling.
• Real life practice: You’ll learn how to guide someone through these concepts and ideas in real world situations.

Because this approach was created by an autistic person, Ron Davis, the curriculum focuses on the strengths of an autistic mind rather than traditional ways of looking at what society deems deficits.

There is no rote learning, behavioral modification or script memorizing. The autistic person leaves you with a mental toolkit to address any life situation they encounter without distress or overwhelm.

What others say about the Davis Autism Approach

“I have been discovering my essence as an autistic individual and a burgeoning sense of personal self-worth within me.” Albert, Autistic man

“What makes the Davis Autism Approach different to any other therapy or program I’m aware of, is that Ron Davis really understands autism from within. His program truly reaches to the core of who my son is. It’s hard to imagine what life would have been like if we hadn’t found the Davis Autism Approach when we did.” Juliana, mother of autistic son

“It’s a commitment, but it’s a fun commitment. The results come quickly, and they last. This isn’t just an intervention; it’s a way of life. It’s about showing the big picture of life and how to live it.” Elise, Mother of autistic son

“Now that Benjamin can understand the consequences of staying up late and not getting enough sleep, he’s willing to go to bed, an outcome I had never thought possible.” Andrea, mother of autistic son

“After the program, we took a trip to Hawaii – most parents of autistic individuals will understand how impossible that thought is. Logan loved the trip. He tried new foods, enjoyed bus rides, and even went zip-lining and surfing.“ Alan, father of autistic child

“It changed our life so drastically that I pursued my facilitator’s license.” Mary Martin, mother, Davis Facilitator

“Having explored psychology, mental health resources, and various autism interventions over the years, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. What sets the Davis Autism Approach apart is that it’s truly an experiential journey for a neurodiverse person.” Kirsten, support worker for an autistic person
