Davis Dyslexia Correction program (Ron Davis author of the gift of dyslexia)
http://www.dyslexia.com/ Ron Davis believes that dyslexia is a result of an inherent mental gift or talent. People who develop dyslexia think in pictures, rather than words; they are imaginative and creative; and they try to solve problems by looking at the whole picture, rather than working step-by-step. Davis Dyslexia Correction relies on using the mental talents that dyslexic people share to overcome the learning problems. To do this, students must learn and follow a different approach to learning.

“We Create the Magic of Learning!”
http://www.lindamoodbell.com Our goal at Lindamood-Bell is to develop language processing so everyone can learn to his or her potential. In order to be a proficient learner, in any subject, it is critical that an individual is able to efficiently process information, either by listening or reading. Our instruction helps a wide range of individuals of all ages (5 through adult) by addressing the underlying skills necessary for independence and self-correction. Beyond traditional subject tutoring, we focus on the development of processing skills. It is common to see years of learning gain in just weeks of intensive instruction.

“Solutions to reading, writing, attention problems.”
http://www.dyslexiacenter.com/defined.htm/ “Solutions to reading, writing, and attention problems.” When properly trained and informed, a dyslexic can use their natural abilities to shift perceptions, enhance creativity, refine thinking, and improve physical performance. Dyslexia only becomes a “disability” when uncorrected perceptual distortions occur, creating confusion and conflicting information which cannot be processed clearly.
