Are you an educator/tutor or educational professional facing the challenge of a student/client eager to learn but struggling with conventional methods?
Perhaps you’re feeling helpless as those tried-and-tested techniques fail to resonate with that individual.
Or are you a parent, grandparent or even a spouse navigating the complexities of your loved ones learning struggles, dyslexia, seeking solutions amidst general recommendations and partial successes? Despite efforts from teachers, other educational professionals and personal research, do genuine solutions seem elusive, leaving you feeling worried?
Or perhaps you’re considering a career change towards dyslexia empowerment, aiming to leave a lasting impact on the lives of struggling learners. Picture the future where your contributions lead to countless individuals leading successful lives, and recognize the significant difference you made.
If you relate to any of these, you are in the right place!
This workshop is open to all adults who are interested in learning more about Davis methods and theory, and is also the first workshop in the 7-course training Track series leading to certification and licensing as a Davis Facilitator.

Online…
The Gift of Dyslexia online workshop is no dry webinar. We employ a host of creative innovations to ensure the same dynamic, convivial, hands-on experience that you would expect from any Davis methods workshop. Features of the online workshop experience include:
- “camera-on, mic-on” interactive instruction
- short video demonstrations of key procedures in a face-to-face setting
- animated walk-throughs of our main procedures
- adapted pair work practice in “breakout rooms”
- content review and Q&A sessions to reinforce your learning as you go along
- in-session use of plasticine clay, so you can experience Davis Symbol Mastery hands-on.
We strongly recommend connecting to the sessions from a computer or large tablet. During the clay modelling sessions, a second device (such as a smartphone) will be needed so that the Presenter and fellow-participants can see your face and your clay models at the same time. (have a good table for clay modeling)
