About your facilitator...

I am a trained primary school teacher and upgraded my skills over the years to obtain both Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Education. My focus area in the Masters Degree was in Learning Support and Inclusive Education because I was then working in a learning support role with students with learning difficulties. In fact, I have worked with students with learning difficulties for almost seventeen years now.

I have developed a broad understanding of the nature of learning difficulties and an empathy towards the frustrations that dyslexic students experience. Strategies used in schools to help children with these difficulties simply address the symptoms and support the student through the compulsory years of schooling. All the strategies I know do support the students, but they require much repetition on the part of the student and still result in slow progress.

Then I discovered the Davis Dyslexia Correction® Program. What is different about the Davis Dyslexia Correction® Program is that it addresses the cause of the learning problems in the first instance. I have trained predominantly in the USA to be a Facilitator of this program during 2005 and 2006 and am now a Licensed Davis Facilitator.
