Davis℠ Methods

Overview

Background

In 1980, at age 38, Ronald D. Davis overcame his own severe dyslexia when he found a way to quickly eliminate perceptual distortions. For the first time in his life, he could read and enjoy a book without struggling. After independent clinical research and working with experts in many fields, Davis perfected his drug-free program for correcting dyslexia in adults and children.

Over the last few decades, the program had continuously expanded to helping individuals with:

Davis℠ Methodologies

Davis theorizes that dyslexic individuals are primarily picture thinkers who experience perceptual disorientations in the senses of time, vision, hearing, and/or balance and coordination. Davis℠ Programs are facilitated in a one-to-one, fun and supportive environment to clients of all ages. It provides solutions based on the following key elements:

Davis℠ Autism & NOIT

Davis℠ Autism Approach®

The Davis℠ Autism Approach (DAA) is a non-invasive, gentle approach that can be tailored to address the varying degrees of need found within the broad spectrum of autism and ASD.

This program was created by a brilliant autistic man who stumbled across a way of understanding his world at the bottom of his garden…Ron Davis who did not speak as a child removed the confusion and chaos from his life by learning to understand behaviors through modeling them in red dirt and water. These early discoveries proved a foundation to his life’s work and he has now created a method to guide others like him and their families to participate more fully in life.

DAA is a three-part program

  1. Individuation

    Creating an awareness of self by assisting individuals in becoming oriented in the world, using a variety of auditory, visual and kinesthetic methods.

  2. Identity Development

    Learning about “life’s natural lessons” by creating models in plastalina clay and exploring these concepts in the environment.

  3. Social Integration

    The third and final stage focuses on building social awareness through exploring the different types of relationships we have with others, allowing those with ASD to participate more fully in life.

NOIT (Natural Orientation Inducing Tool)

NOIT Research began as a private, leading edge autism organization. Its purpose continues to be the development of strategies that will support even the most severely autistic individuals to learn to participate fully in life. A small percentage of the autistic population, possibly 10 to 15%, are so severely handicapped with autism that the development of language skills does not occur. This limited population of autistic individuals was the original focus of NOIT Research and continues to be the most important population.

NOIT is an acronym for Natural Orientation Inducing Tool. It offers children and adults the opportunity to master the art of focusing whenever they choose. Developed by Ron Davis, the NOIT has been found to be useful for people with diagnoses of ADD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, this unique learning tool is useful for anyone who wishes to improve their ability to be present and attend in any situation.

Using the NOIT can improve:
