LEARN MORE ABOUT DYSLEXIA CORRECTION CENTER |
Dyslexia Correction Center in Lubbock, Texas, is a private counseling center that provides individualized programs to adults and children with learning difficulties. It is estimated that fifteen to twenty percent of the world’s population had a learning disability called dyslexia. Dyslexic individuals may have trouble with reading, spelling, and writing, as well as with math, handwriting, focusing attention, movement and coordination, speech, and auditory processing.
In 1981 a research organization for correcting dyslexia, the Reading Research Council, was established by Ronald D. Davis and Dr. Fatima Ali. Their organization and methods are based on personal breakthroughs Ron Davis made with his on severely dyslexic condition. The basic methods used at Dyslexia Correction Center are described in Ron Davis’ books, The Gift of Dyslexia and The Gift of Learning.

Ron Davis believes that dyslexia is a result of an inherent mental gift or talent. People who develop dyslexia think in pictures rather than words. They are imaginative and creative, and they try to solve problems by looking at the whole picture, instead of working step-by-step. Davis Dyslexia Correction relies on using the mental talents that dyslexic people share to overcome learning problems. To do this, students must learn and follow a different approach to learning.

Testimonials
"Adam's self-esteem doubled. After the program I was concerned when his report card reflected a drop from 89 to 87 in one class. He improved in other classes, but this drop scared me. Prior to the program we worked together on all of his homework. I realized that for the first time in his life it was his work and not mine reflected on that report card. What a blessing! He won't let me help him anymore, and continues to have mostly A's with a few B's."
