Will program be successful?

The Davis program has a 97% success rate.

  • It is very important that the client is motivated and willing to make the changes and continue with the follow up work post program.
  • It is also important that a parent or support person will ensure support for the follow up work after the program, without violating the control and responsibility of the student.
  • It is also important that any medications that the client may be taking are fully disclosed as some medications will affect the natural orientation of the brain.

What does it mean by drug free program?

DavisTM methods employ self-regulating technique which enables the individual to control disorientation, correct the perception and maintain focus, regulate the energy levels. By use of these various tools in combination with the knowledge gained during the program, the individual can control the symptoms of Dyslexia, can maintain focus and attention and enable student to study, work and carry out day to day activities without use of ADHD drugs.

If a student is taking any psycho-active drugs, stimulants, and serotonin reuptake inhibitors, these drugs seem to stand in the way of a successful implementation of these techniques. Hence, when the student takes the program, he/ she must be completely off the drugs, based on your doctor’s advice.
