Ron Davis, my training with his method transformed my life snd started my career ‚Sydney Dyslexia‘
Thank you, Ron!

Because it's Dyslexia Awareness month, this week's must read book is The Gift of Dyslexia.

Ron Davis published this book 31 years ago, after figuring out why he couldn't read for the first 38 years of his life, despite being highly intelligent and creative, and how he worked as an engineer during the space race while being illiterate.

Now there are Davis Facilitators in 40+ countries helping people discover the same breakthrough he did.

Just read these incredible stories on the success stories section of our website - parents who became facilitators, adults who found hope in their 40s, people who realized their biggest struggle was actually their greatest strength.

Get the book from any good bookstore, Amazon or your local library.

It’s a delight and honour to share this link and edify this wonderfully unique man I’ve met and studied under: Ron Davis. I worked as one of his dyslexia facilitators and autism coaches for many years and I owe him most of my understanding, knowledge and wisdom around neurodivergent individuals. Thank you, Ron, for sharing your story in this book to keep as your legacy, together with your many other books, ‚the Gift of Dyslexia‘ being one of them.

💬 Testimonial Tuesday 💬

Ron’s story is now in the world.

This weekend, during Davis Neurodiversity Day,
we quietly shared something we’ve been working towards for a long time.

Dummy: the Autobiography of a “retard”
by Ron Davis
is now available.

Before speech.
Before memory.
Ron made sense of the world
by shaping letters in clay.

This is his story —
in his own words.

A first-hand account of growing up
without speech or memory until the age of nine…
and what it took
to begin understanding life.

It is raw.
At times painful.
Often surprising.
And deeply illuminating.

For those working with neurodivergent learners,
it offers something rare:
an inside view
of the experience behind the labels.

For parents,
it brings understanding —
and often recognition.

And for many,
it is simply
a remarkable human story.

If you do read it,
We’d truly value hearing what stands out to you.

And if you’re able to leave a review,
it helps this story reach
the families who need it most...

Thank you for being part of this work!
