An intriguing therapeutic approach to Dyslexia and related
disorders pioneered by Ron Davis and his foundation. Ron
was diagnosed as a autistic Kanner baby and did not speak at age
12 - he was considered to be mentally retarded until age 17 when
he was found to have an I.Q. of 137 and finally received speech
and language services from a gifted speech therapist. He
went on to obtain a degree as an engineer, but at age 38 could
not read or write. He brilliantly analyzed his problems as
one of sensory distortion or "disorientation" as he
refers to it, overcame his dyslexia (difficulty reading)
and dysgraphia (difficulty writing) and with the members
of his foundation have created an approach to help others with
Dyslexia, and related disorders. Ron feels that autism is
simply an extreme form of dyslexia. His book, The Gift of
Learning, provides fascinating insights into how sensory
distortion causes learning disabilities. |
