"My handwriting, my balance, my hand-eye coordination, hearing, reading, remembering, pretty much everything are good---changed to really, really, really good---fifteen exclamation points!"---8-year-old E. C. (male) (Nancy note: we worked a couple of hours on punctuation, so the exclamation points comment shows E----’s endearing sense of humor.)
“I feel more confident. I feel glad that I’ve gone through this. I’m glad there’s somebody that knows how to do this (facilitate a Davis Program) for me.”---10-year-old J.T. (male) who came to Dyslexia Corrector in order to pass fourth grade so he wouldn’t have to repeat, and his father called after the last day of school to let me know J.T. had been promoted to fifth grade and made HONOR ROLL!
“I’m not as confused. I stay more in tune with what’s going on around me instead of going off into my own little world.”---55-year-old R.E. (male)
C----- is not the same person since that first week of tutoring. It's as if 90% of the issues I had with him all of his life have just disappeared. He understands himself, he has a confidence in who he is and what a joy to have Ed and I understand who he is and to be able to recognize his talents and promote them while encouraging him and helping him with any struggles he has when writing a paper, etc. I thank God for you Nancy! The Lord definitely used you to answer our prayers for our precious son!—email from mother of 17-year old (male)C-----
It seems that S-- did very well with work you did . . .
He seemed to like going and has enjoyed learning with his new tools.
(My wife)called me about noontime and asked if I knew what my son had done now. Of course my mind said "What, another fight and a trip to the principals office?" Instead I answered with a rather
disappointed "What". "He is sitting and writing in the hallway."
When J-- asked him what he was doing. He replied, "I'm writing a
story mom. It is more fun than playing on the play ground".
Well you could have knocked either of us over with a feather.
This is not the S-- that left to see you in Phoenix. He is
really excited about his learning and ability to read and write
now. He even sings more . . .(We) are overjoyed with the progress that S-- made in AZ (and) continues to show signs of at home.
I love what you have done for S--.
Thanks---email from Father of 8-year-old male, S--, who traveled from California for a Program with Dyslexia Corrector
