I am dyslexic and very much like your idea of your book. Please be awair that the Ron Davis method is not for everyone. Have dalved into it and found that it through my brain completely out of whack. Was unable to hold letters and numbers in any order after working on the minds eye.

Dyslexia is not a gift in its self. Yes there are some gifted dyslexics with very high IQ but dyslexia is not a gift. If it is why are we all made to suffer so.

Suppose I've only witnessed the success stories. There area facilitators I've met who incorporate other things into their teaching strategies because they say the same thing...not one system works for all people. If it's true that dyslexia has as many facets as fingerprints...hmmmm.

There's an optometrist my daughter went to who had her perform these fun little eye exercises which allowed her, at 14 to read her first complete book and she loved every minute of it. I thought she was healed. She is alot better off but still struggles with flipping letters around at times..but she can read now! This optometrist is also a "learning development specialist" and she performed a 3-hour extensive eye exam to enable her to diagnose which muscles in Gabe's eyes that she needed to strengthen because she wasn't using them.

I was impressed. Have you tried that avenue?
