SUMMARY:The Gift of Dyslexia Workshop - NZ/Aus Time zone - October 5-9
DESCRIPTION:A 5-day workshop giving parents\, educators\, and professionals practical tools to support dyslexic individuals. Also the first step in  training to become a licensed Davis Dyslexia Facilitator.\nDyslexia isn’t a defect. It’s a different way of thinking. \nYour child is bright\, creative\, and perceptive\, yet reading feels like a battle every single day. Letters move. Words blur. The harder they try\, the more frustrated they get. And despite all the effort\, the gap between what they’re capable of and what they can do on paper just keeps growing. \nIf you support someone with dyslexia\, as a parent\, teacher\, or therapist\, you’ve probably already tried a lot. Phonics programs. Extra tutoring. Specialist assessments. Some things helped a little. Many didn’t. \nThe Davis Gift of Dyslexia® Workshop starts from a different premise entirely: dyslexia isn’t a defect or a structural problem. It stems from a perceptual talent\, the same ability that gives dyslexic individuals exceptional spatial awareness\, creativity\, and three-dimensional thinking. The problem is that no one has shown them how to control it. \nThis workshop gives you the tools to do that. \nWhat makes this different\nThe Davis Method was developed by Ron Davis\, who was labelled severely learning disabled as a child and struggled with reading until age 38\, when he discovered he was causing the symptoms\, and more importantly\, how to stop them. That discovery became the foundation of the Davis Method\, now used by trained facilitators in over 40 countries. \nThe approach works with how dyslexic individuals actually think\,  in pictures\, not words. Rather than drilling phonics or forcing memorisation\, it uses two core procedures: \nDavis Orientation Counselling gives the individual a way to control disorientation — the perceptual state that causes letters to move\, words to blur\, and confusion to spiral. Once they can turn disorientation off\, they can perceive written language accurately and consistently. \nDavis Symbol Mastery resolves the root cause of reading difficulty — the confusion about the meaning of letters\, words\, and language symbols. Using hands-on clay modelling\, the individual builds a genuine conceptual understanding of each symbol\, eliminating the confusion that triggers disorientation in the first place. \nNo drilling. No repetition for its own sake. No telling them to try harder. Instead  a clear\, structured process that works with the way their brain is already wired\, enabling true mastery. \nWhat changes after this workshop\nParents\, teachers\, and professionals who have completed the Davis Gift of Dyslexia® Workshop consistently report seeing individuals who: \n\nRead with greater accuracy and less frustration\nStop reversing\, skipping\, or misreading letters and words\nUnderstand and retain what they’ve read\nFeel less overwhelmed and more confident in learning situations\nDevelop genuine understanding of language symbols rather than relying on memorisation or coping strategies\nBegin to see their dyslexia as a strength\, not a barrier\n\nResults vary by individual\, and progress takes time. But you’ll leave this workshop with a complete set of procedures you can apply straight away\, and a clear understanding of why each one works. \nWorkshop details\n\nDuration: 5 days – October 5-9\nInvestment: NZ$1795 / Early Bird price $1495 available until 5th September\nWho it’s for: Parents and caregivers of dyslexic children; teachers\, tutors\, and educational therapists; allied health professionals; and anyone considering becoming a Davis Facilitator\nNext step after this workshop: This workshop is the foundation for Davis Dyslexia Facilitator training. Should you wish to continue training\, your presenter will provide you with the next steps.\n\nGive them the tools to read — and thrive\nSecure your place at the Davis Gift of Dyslexia® Workshop. Places are limited to keep the training practical and hands-on. \nTo register\, contact Diane: diane.papworth@davismethod.com
