| These are attempts to overcome frustration and despair. When they begin to appear, they indicate that the child is already struggling and is likely to give up on school. The ideal time for a remedial program is before these behaviors become livelong patterns. However, it is never too late. Dyslexics of all ages - from seven to 70 - have been able to fill in the gaps with the Davis® Dyslexia Correction Program and solve their problems once and for all. |

Testimonials
"Sara has developed a really good attitude about her abilities. She can see now that she really has untapped abilities rather than disabilities."
-- Grandmother of 13 year old
"My son is able to function beautifully without medication because of the tools he learned at Dyslexia Correction Center. He knows how to be in charge of his own behavior now. He focuses when he gets disoriented, and that certainly helps him in the classroom! The best thing about the program is that it gave him autonomy over himself."
-- Mom of 12 year old
