I have been a Davis Dyslexia Correction\u00ae facilitator since 2003. I spent 2 years in training with Davis Dyslexia Association International\u00ae (DDAI) and have worked with hundreds of clients. I graduated with a BS in Physical Education and Health Science from Loma Linda University. Education has always been my passion and I have a California Teaching Credential. I have been married for 26 years and have two girls ages 23 and 20.

I grew up with dyslexia and had a very hard time in school. I began my journey to find some program that would help my oldest daughter when I saw that she was also dyslexic. My wife and I went down many different roads and spent lots of money on tutors etc. I was so thankful to finally find the Davis Method. My wife thought it was best if I went through the program before our daughter did since we had raised her hopes up many times. We didn\u2019t want to put our daughter through another program that didn\u2019t work for her. I was amazed at the results for myself, and I thought it would be very successful for my child. The results for our daughter were dramatic. I can\u2019t tell you what a relief it was to have her so improved. The program enabled her to eliminate the confusion dyslexics often experience with reading, spelling, and math which brought her to grade level in a short amount of time.

I realized the learning strategies developed by the DDAI could dramatically improve the academic success of a dyslexic child, and excited by our daughter\u2019s improvement, I just had to become a Davis Dyslexia Correction\u00aeProgram Facilitator!

Thank you for helping me with my dyslexia and my fear of writing. I owe a lot to you. I\u2019m 250% more confident with my writing and spelling than ever before. Thank you so much.

Thanks,

Caitlin","testimonial_2":"Dear David,

Thank you so much for the week that you spent with our son Sean. As a mom and a homeschooler I was at my wits end trying to figure out what reading and writing program would get my son to grade level. It always seemed like he would be making great progress but then at times like we were back to square one.","testimonial_3":"Dear David,

I had one of the best experiences of my life in David Hirst\u2019s dyslexic class. I now have the tools I need to succeed. David made sense out of all my painful memories as a child while trying to learn to read and write. I was amazed by how he could explain in a way I understand with the utmost patience, the why and how it was so difficult for me to learn. I now know it wasn\u2019t my fault. I would recommend David\u2019s class. The experience well outweighs the expense.

Sincerely,

Valerie Lomeli","testimonial_4":"Dear Mr. Hirst

If I had to count my #1 blessing this year it would have to be what you gave to my son Logan this year. What a dramatically different boy! He is so confident, his writing is amazing, and he likes school! You gave us the tools to work thru the challenges school presents to us. I could never thank-you enough for the gift you have given us. I hope I can pass it forward. I hope God pours all of his blessings on you and your family. God Bless

Thanks,

John, Marla, Logan and Jade","testimonial_5":"","hub":"North America","latlong":"(33.950313,-117.362052)","ldap_userid":"david-hirst","license_from_date":"20031209","country":"United States","name_pre_post":"","email":"david.hirst@davismethod.com","pre_nominals":"","post_nominals":"","display_name":"David Hirst","on_holiday":"N","on_holiday_until":"","autism_sabbatical":"","dyslexia_sabbatical":"","limited_profile":""},"yoast_head":"\nDavid Hirst -
