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.

📖 Day 2 of Dyslexia Awareness Week: Meet Ron Davis—the man who changed how the world sees dyslexia.
Labeled 'uneducable and mentally re****ed' as a child. Couldn't read for 38 years. Today? His methods help millions worldwide.
Ron's story destroys every stereotype about dyslexia:
The Struggle:

Born with severe autism and dyslexia
Doctors said he'd 'never learn or achieve much beyond what a chimpanzee could'
38 years unable to read a single sentence
Society saw only deficits

The Breakthrough:

Discovered that when sculpting, his mind entered a state where language didn't exist—pure imagery
Realized he could find a mental state where language WOULD work
Identified disorientation as the root cause of dyslexic symptoms
Created methods that work WITH visual thinking, not against it

The Legacy:
✨ 'The Gift of Dyslexia' translated into 20+ languages
✨ 400+ licensed facilitators globally
✨ Methods available in 40+ countries
✨ 30 years of transforming lives
Ron didn't overcome his dyslexia—he harnessed it. His extraordinary spatial visualization abilities (BECAUSE of his dyslexia) led him to work as an engineer during the Space Race.
During this Dyslexia Awareness Week, we honor Ron's legacy and celebrate the millions who've discovered their gifts through understanding how their minds actually work.
Your 'learning difference' might be your greatest gift. 💫"
