A 5-day workshop for anyone who’s tired of struggling with the same patterns — and ready to change them. Also the first step in  training to become a licensed Davis Concepts for Life Facilitator.

Does this sound familiar?

You lose track of time constantly. Your space is chaos, and so is your to-do list. You know what you need to do, but you can’t make yourself do it. Transitions are hard. Emotions run hot. Relationships feel complicated in ways you can’t quite explain.

Or maybe it’s your child — bright, capable, but struggling to share, to shift from one activity to the next, to hold it together at school. Not because of academics, but because the daily structure of life feels genuinely difficult for them.

The Davis Concepts for Life® workshop addresses the root causes of these challenges, not by teaching coping strategies or changing behavior but by building the foundational understanding of the concepts that underpin everyday life.

Where this program comes from

Davis Concepts for Life® grew directly from the Davis Autism Approach® program. When facilitators were trained in that method, unexpectedly, they found the concepts transforming their own lives too. The same was true for families supporting their loved ones through the program.

Ron Davis, himself autistic, dyslexic, and functionally illiterate until age 38, developed a set of life concepts that form the building blocks of how we function in the world. The program works by helping participants truly understand these concepts from the inside out, using hands-on clay modelling rather than verbal instruction.

It’s particularly powerful for people who are Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or who suspect they may be neurodivergent — because it works with the way neurodivergent brains process and learn.

What you’ll gain in 5 days

The program builds through five levels of concepts, each one a real foundation for the next. By the end, you’ll have a genuine, embodied understanding of:

• Time and sequence — why time feels slippery, and how to actually get a grip on it
• Order and disorder — a clear, practical framework for creating order in your environment and your mind
• Emotion and intention — why you (or your child) react the way you do, and how emotion drives or blocks action
• Motivation, ability and control — the three components that determine whether you can actually follow through on something
• Responsibility — not as a moral concept, but as a practical, learnable framework
• Relationships — the Building Bridges concepts that help you understand different types of relationships as well as how your emotions and behavior affect others, and vice versa

You’ll also learn and practise the Davis self-regulation tools: Orientation, Release, and Dial — which give you practical ways to manage stress, focus, and energy levels in any situation.
