My name is Mary
Davie. I am the Sutherland Shire’s first
Davis
Dyslexia Correction® Facilitator. With a university
degree in Physical Education, I am also a qualified
Primary School teacher originally from Christchurch,
New Zealand. After several years teaching, I
returned to university to complete a Bachelor of
Education and part of a Masters in Education. I have
two children. When my bright son began having
difficulties at school, I spent four years home
schooling both children. In my quest to discover a
means to help him, a friend introduced me to Ron
Davis’s book, “The Gift of Dyslexia.”
I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Not only was
my son perfectly described, but also many of the pupils
who had had difficulties in my classroom, whose
challenges, and gifts had been so perplexing. Even
better, Ron’s strategies to help, covered every aspect,
of every symptom, I had encountered. The big difference
was coming in at the root cause, the ability to think in
pictures, a low threshold for confusion, and the ability
to see….. as real. When learning difficulties are
accurately described from this perspective, the wide
range of symptoms makes sense, and the Davis Dyslexia
Correction® programme can be effective.
Needless to say my son completed a programme with a
Davis Facilitator, (Lorna Timms) in Christchurch. My son
has gone from strength to strength, full of confidence
and self esteem. At the same time, I began the most
fantastic journey of self discovery, in training to
become a Davis Dyslexia Correction® Facilitator. Ron
Davis himself, led my theoretical training, which was a
huge privilege.
Part way through my training, our family emigrated to
the Sutherland Shire in southern Sydney, Australia. I
have now set up a learning strategies workshop in my own
home, overlooking the tranquil Port Hacking. With peace
and privacy clients can experience a 30 hour programme.
This instills confidence, tools and support to correct
their learning difficulties, allowing them to go on and
meet their full potential in the world.
