After years of teaching special education in the public schools, Dottie now only provides the Davis programs because Davis really works.<\/b> \n
\n
\n
\nWhen her daughter Sara was in 5th grade, a friend who was a Davis facilitator, suggested that Sara might be dyslexic. Although skeptical, Dottie agreed to have her daughter go through a Davis Program for reading. At the beginning of the week-long program, Sara\u2019s reading level was 3.2, and at the end of the week, her reading level tested at 5.4! Shocked by this growth in such a short time, Dottie thought that it was impossible and there must be some mistake. Sara was in heart failure and was hospitalized the following week, but a month later, when she went back to school, her reading was tested at 5.4 again. Grade Level! \n
\n
\nDottie attended a four-day Davis workshop to find out more about this program, and upon returning home, as she was explaining to Sara what she had learned about 3-dimensional thinking and disorientation, Sara got tears in her eyes and said, \"Finally you get how I think!\" This program not only brought her reading to grade level, but it also changed their relationship. \n
\n
\nSara continued to be dyslexic, but she had the tools to correct the symptoms. At the age of 19, after Sara had moved to Los Angeles, Dottie asked her if she ever thought about all the tools she learned from the Davis program in the fifth grade. Sara responded, \u201cAre you kidding me? I would never be able to drive in LA traffic if I didn\u2019t know how to get myself oriented!\"\n
\n
\nSara died at the age of 21 from her heart failure, but what she taught Dottie lives on. Because of the struggles seen firsthand, Dottie has the unique ability to provide each program with a kindness and gentleness that many clients have not experienced before. Most clients come away with not only the tools to control their symptoms of dyslexia providing greater success, but also an increased confidence in every area of life. \n
\n
\nThe Davis\u00ae Program for reading changed Sara\u2019s life and it changed Dottie\u2019s life too. It may change yours as well.","testimonial_1":"Words from a parent of a 3rd grade Davis graduate. \"Hello. Thank you for inquiring about (my son). His performance on spelling tests has greatly improved, as well as his self-confidence all around which is the best! I would say he is reading at grade level now. \n
\nThe greatest thing has been the self-realizations of my husband which has allowed him to relate to (my son) in a more understanding way. It has positively affected his relationships with my older son as well. \n
\nSo although we had our doubts with the price of this program in the beginning, the unexpected life changing benefits have been well worth the cost.","testimonial_2":"A 5-year-old came for a Foundations Program. After working with parents and teachers for months to learn to write his 4-letter name, his mom came to pick him up on day 3 and he proudly spelled not only his first name, but also his 7-letter last name! Mom had tears and he just beamed.","testimonial_3":"A 22-year-old community college student came for a reading program because she had failed English twice. On day three of the program, she got tears in her eyes and said, \"You have no idea how healing this is. I'm not dumb, I just learn differently!\" When visiting her several months later, she showed me a paper and a stack of quizzes marked with an \"A\"! She ended up with an A in English after failing the class twice. She went on to graduate with her AA in business.","testimonial_4":"A 9-year-old came for a reading program, reading at a kindergarten level. His mother had him in a reading program through the public library over the summer and was reading to him every evening. On the third evening, he asked if he could read a page. Surprised, she gave him the book (3rd grade level) and he read an entire page! Mom had tears in her eyes as she was telling me the next morning.","testimonial_5":"Quote from a student to parent..., \"Today was great in math. We were doing decimals and I knew all the answers. The kids were just looking at me and wondering how I knew. Thank goodness for Ms. Dottie.
