I am deeply saddened by the passing of my mentor Ron Davis. His vision, courage, and unwavering belief in the potential of people with dyslexia and autism have touched countless lives around the world—including mine.

I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Ron, to carry his work forward, and to share the Davis approach with families and individuals whose lives have been changed by his ideas. His legacy is not only in the work he created, but in the many facilitators, educators, parents, and individuals who continue to believe in the possibilities he saw so clearly.

Ron had a remarkable ability to see beyond the challenges and recognize the strengths and gifts within each person. That perspective has shaped so much of my own professional journey.

My heart goes out to Ron’s family, friends, colleagues, and everyone in the Davis community who is grieving this tremendous loss.

Thank you, Ron, for seeing what others could not yet see—and for giving so many of us the tools and inspiration to help others see it, too. Your legacy will live on through the lives you have changed and the work that continues because of you.

Rest in peace, Ron. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. ❤️

Look it’s me!!

Facilitator Friday: Anne Mataczynski has been a Davis facilitator since 2005. She's helped countless clients overcome challenges—and now she's training the next generation of facilitators.

A classroom teacher turned specialized facilitator, Anne brings two decades of education experience to her work. She's licensed in dyslexia and autism, trains new autism facilitators, presents workshops, and sits on the board of the Ron and Alice Davis Autism Foundation. Her reach extends far beyond her Wausau office.

But what drives her work is simpler: she's witnessed transformation. A student who couldn't read went from struggling to straight A's and now practices medicine. A 52-year-old who wanted to return to college earned A grades in her courses using the tools Anne taught her. A girl who guessed at words now loves reading so much her mom has to tell her to put the book down. She finished with a Master's in Chemistry.

Anne's philosophy is holistic. She addresses emotional, mental, and educational needs together—the whole person, not just the learning difficulty. Her clients feel it. They gain confidence. They gain independence. They gain their lives back.

She works in person, online, and travels to meet clients across Wisconsin and beyond.
