The Gift of Learning: Proven New Methods for Correcting ADD, Math & Handwriting Problems » (First Edition)

Ronald D. Davis grew up struggling with learning disabilities. Even though he failed in the school system, he took technical courses that enabled him to succeed in various ventures. Dedicating his life to helping people with the gift of dyslexia, he founded the Reading Research Council in 1981 and Davis Dyslexia Association International in 1995.

Eldon M. Braun, a former advertising agent and creative director, is co-author of The Gift of Dyslexia.

Using the proven methods he developed to overcome dyslexia, Ron Davis adapts those techniques to help sufferers triumph over a variety of common learning disabilities, including:

• Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
• ADHD (the hyperactive variety)
• Math deficiency (dyscalculia and acalculia)
• Handwriting problems (dysgraphia and agraphia)

Outlining clear instructions, the author demonstrates that through a series of mental and physical exercises called "Orientation Counseling" and learning tools called "Symbol Mastery," those struggling with these conditions can now learn how to correct them, embrace their gift, and enjoy learning.
