Davis Autism International: Complete Support for Autistic & Neurodivergent Individuals or those with Executive Function Challenges
Finally, an approach to autism, executive function and neurodivergence that works—because it was created by someone who truly understands.
Whether you’re looking for workshop training, individual support, professional development, or want to become a facilitator yourself – find everything you need to support autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
We Understand Your Journey
For Parents of Autistic and Neurodivergent Children
You wake up each morning wondering what challenges today will bring. Will there be a meltdown before school? You’ve tried traditional approaches but nothing creates lasting change.
For Autistic and Neurodivergent Adults
The world feels intense and overwhelming. You mask your way through environments, then collapse at home. Most support targets children – where’s the help for adults?
For Professionals & Educators
You’ve seen brilliant students struggle in systems not designed for them. You want evidence-based training that honors neurodivergent perspectives.
For Career Changers
You’re passionate about making a difference in neurodivergent lives. You want meaningful work that creates real change and offers entrepreneurial freedom.
The Davis Difference
Unlike traditional approaches that try to “fix” neurodivergence, Davis methods celebrate different thinking. Our founder, Ron Davis, created these approaches from his own experience as an autistic individual who found his way out of confusion and isolation.
This isn’t theory. This is lived experience translated into practical tools.
Ron Davis Created These Methods from His Own Experience
Ron Davis was diagnosed as a “Kanner’s Baby” (early terminology for autism) and didn’t speak until age 9. His mother was told Ron would “never be able to be held, to learn, to speak, or achieve much beyond what a chimpanzee could.”
They were very wrong.
“What inspired me to help those with autism is that I am myself autistic.”
By age 17, his IQ measured 137—exceptional intelligence. But he couldn’t read due to severe dyslexia. He became a successful engineer while hiding that he was functionally illiterate until age 38.
At 38, Ron made a breakthrough that changed his world.
Through self-experimentation, Ron discovered how to control the perceptual distortions causing his difficulties. For the first time, he could read a book cover to cover.
From there, he turned to his autism. Using clay models and environmental exploration, the same methods he’d used as a child, Ron worked through three crucial phases:
- Individuation – becoming aware of himself as separate from everything else
- Identity Development – understanding fundamental life concepts
- Social Integration – learning to navigate relationships
These discoveries became the Davis Method that have transformed thousands of lives worldwide.

How Our Workshops Work
A Completely Different Approach to Neurodivergent Support
No Behavioral Modification
Our workshops don’t use rote learning, repetition, or social skills training. Instead, we address the root cause—helping individuals master fundamental concepts they may have missed.
Hands-On Workshop Learning
Using specially designed clay, workshop participants create models of abstract concepts like “change,” “consequence,” and “responsibility.” This makes invisible concepts concrete and masterable.
Environmental Integration
After modeling each concept in our workshops, participants explore how it exists in real life. This integration ensures lasting understanding that transfers across all situations.
Self-Regulation Tools
Our workshops teach practical mental strategies for managing stress, regulating energy, and maintaining focus—tools participants can use independently for life.
Meet Anne – Your Guide to Finding the Right Path
With so many Davis options available, choosing the right path can feel overwhelming. That’s where Anne comes in.
Anne is our expert Support Coordinator, Davis Trainer and Facilitator who has guided hundreds of families and professionals through this exact decision. She understands that neurodivergence often comes with complexity – many individuals have multiple traits (autism + ADHD, dyslexia + dysgraphia) that require thoughtful planning, equallly, they may not have a formal diagnosis.
In your 15-minute discovery call, Anne will:
- Listen without judgment to your specific situation and challenges
- Explain all available options (workshops, programs, training, facilitators)
- Help navigate multiple neurodivergent traits (autism + ADHD, etc.)
- Discuss realistic timelines and investments for each option
- Connect you with local facilitators if individual support is preferred
- Provide career guidance if you’re considering facilitator training
- Answer all questions with no pressure to decide immediately
FAQ – All Your Questions Answered
How do I know which option is right for me or my family?
Book a free discovery call with Anne. She’ll help you understand all the options and guide you to the best starting point based on your specific situation and goals.
What’s the difference between workshops and individual programs?
Workshops teach you to facilitate the methods with others and provide community learning. Individual programs are personalized one-on-one support where you receive the methods directly.
Can adults with ADHD or executive function issues participate?
Absolutely! The Concepts for Life options are specifically designed for anyone struggling with executive function, organization, relationships, or daily life management.
How is this different from ABA or other autism approaches?
Our methods were created by an autistic individual and focus on building missing life concepts rather than behavior modification. We celebrate neurodivergence rather than trying to change it.
