Sharing & Spreading Happiness!!

August brings lots of festivities, fun and fervor in Indian house hold. If one diligently follow all customs and celebrate all the festivals, they be celebrating an occasion each day during monsoon season (The Shravan month!). More so, the monsoon showers make the environment so colorful and full with life making everyone so happy….and yesterday my happiness grew multi-fold among the galore of Independence day and Janamashtami celebrations, for a very special reason!!!

I got call from a mom whose son completed Davis® Dyslexia Correction Program and Davis® Math Mastery Program with me last year. She had called to congratulate me! Her son has cleared his 10th Grade exams in flying colors, securing marks in range of 75 to 79% in Science and Mathematics. This is a commendable feat for him. He is now aim for a degree in Computer Science, of course after completion of his IB Diploma.


Not just that he proved himself in studies; this young brilliant chap is an avid footballer! He had been also selected for professional football coaching in Spain.  

Mother is so delighted and was thankful that he got the Davis® tools on time, and how his dedicated in follow up exercises along with his consistent use of tools he conquered his battle… and now is confident to march on journey of his dreams…

She was very excited to share that how few months before the exams the school councilor was worried for his performance and suggested he opt for the core curriculum instead of extended curriculum….  But with his sheer grit and determination, he didn’t fall prey to the prejudice and ignorance of the councilor, on the contrary proved her wrong.  I must mention here mom’s unrelenting support is exemplary. Her unwavering confidence and determination to support the child is commendable.  

I remember this boy was so determined to overcome all his difficulties he improved his reading and comprehension dramatically, so after completion of his first program he asked his mother to enroll immediately for Math program and completed that too successfully.


He had unlocked his potential by fully adopting Davis tools. I remember, her mother has send me the school monthly report note after 1 month of the program. It mentioned that now her son has started showing remarkable improvement in vocabulary and how he contributes enthusiastically in all classroom discussions and also improved on spellings.  

There can be no bigger satisfaction than being the medium of someone’s enlightenment! This feeling which I find difficult to express in words is what motivates me and makes me keep going….

Daivs® Methods are gaining popularity in India now.. .. but still large section of society is unaware of these wonderful self-empowering methods. If you know someone who is bright and intelligent but is not able to realize this full potential, do provide my reference, who knows you can be first in the chain to help someone. If you think you need such empowering tools to enhance your life skills, don’t wait more to call…

Dyslexia does not happen only in English!



Dyslexia does not happen only in English! It is language neutral.....

I often state this fact to the parents of my little clients while asking them about the symptoms, and also as one of the strengths of Davis® Correction Programs. Davis® methods are completely language neutral. These can be delivered in and for any language using same techniques and are equally effective.

This is the reason the best seller book written by Ronald D Davis The Gift of Dyslexia is translated and published in 21 languages, and worldwide Davis Facilitator's network is providing this program in 30 different languages across 47 nations. But, very sad to say that the book is not available in Hindi or any other Indian languages.

Today, when I bumped into the news article from Indian Express,, about the toolkit designed in Hindi, Marathi & Kannada, to diagnose dyslexia in schools in grade 1, my heart filled with joy and hope. Congratulations and kudos to Ms Nandini Chatterjee Singh & team for taking up this noble work.  

Worldwide, approximately 15% to 20% children are said to be affected by learning differences and 10 % are estimated as having trouble in learning to read and write (typical dyslexia.)  This toolkit brings a ray of hope for 35 million children in our country. Out of which  a fraction who are the privileged to be studying English medium and those too elite schools. Among these privileged ones too only few get identified and get timely help due to various issues.

There is big need to reach out children with timely help and this toolkit is going to serve a great deal.

Davis®  Program is one such unique program which does not rely on phonics and language specific instructions, but builds it's foundation on creating an image of every symbol with it's meaning using the individual's creativity. It the learning and hence is equally effective in any language.

A glimpse of  work done in Davis ® Correction Program, the picture also shows handwriting improvement after 5 days of Program. 
The efforts to come-up successfully with the toolkit for Indian languages has encouraged me to initiate the search again for a suitable  publisher who will translate the book The Gift of Dyslexia in Hindi and other vernacular languages. The wonderful program which is provided one-on-one, is customized and personalized to suite each individual's need. It provides self empowerment to individual by controlling the symptoms at will.

Two years back, I was discouraged by following up with some publishers who made false promises but never got back even with the reasons of not pursuing the project. Now, again I am filled with hope. It has to reach so many people who will be able to relate with the problem and will get introduced to the wonderful correction methods.Amen!! the search begins.....
