For Father’s Day, I wanted to share the rest of the story about my son.
He’s got something in common with Charles Schwab, Picasso, John F. Kennedy and George Patton.
He’s a dyslexic.
I don’t know if dyslexia is a problem in higher ed. I imagine it probably is for some. But most kids get discouraged and weeded out before they can get a shot at college. It doesn’t have to be that way.
I know that because my family was told as early as my son’s third-grade year that he’d never be a good student. All because of the way he sees the world.
To a dyslexic, words are alive and out of control, coming at them too fast to comprehend and understand, unless they have help. Dyslexics are visual and can see letters and words from all sides.
But like a ballerina who can focus on a point as she pirouettes to keep the world from spinning out of control, the Davis Method helps dyslexics find solid ground.
That was our secret: The Davis Method.
