If you joined us for 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗪: 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 this month, you've seen how a picture-thinking mind works. The 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 - 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 is where you learn how to support it at home.

In Davis clay modelling, a child masters a word by creating it by hand, alongside a model of what it means. Their visual, creative way of thinking becomes the way in, rather than the thing in the way.

Six live sessions on Sundays: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 November, 6 December

1-3pm NZT / 11am-1pm AEDT, live on Zoom.

Register now to receive your course materials in time for session one.

Presented by Rachel Barwell, Claire Ashmore and Nikki Palamountain, Davis Dyslexia Facilitators, on behalf of the Davis Pacific facilitator team.

If you have questions before booking, send me a DM. I'm happy to talk it through.

✨ When attention, organisation, and self-regulation feel difficult, it can affect learning, confidence, and everyday life.

The Davis Mastery for Attention programme helps individuals understand what is happening beneath the surface and build practical tools to regain calm, clarity, and control.

This is a personalised, strength-based approach designed to support focus, self-regulation, and real-world outcomes.

In her TEDx talk, Davis Facilitator Sue Hall challenges the idea that every learner should be expected to learn in the same way.

Through clever examples, including the difference between Apple Mac and PC thinking, Sue shows how dyslexic learners often process information differently and why education needs to make room for those differences.

A powerful reminder that dyslexic minds do not need to be forced into the wrong mould. They need the right tools, understanding, and approach.

Our next Davis® Gift of Dyslexia Workshop runs 23–27 November 2026. 🧠

This 5-day online workshop gives parents, educators, professionals, and those considering Davis Facilitator training practical tools to support dyslexic individuals.

✨ The Davis approach starts from a different premise entirely: dyslexia isn't a defect. It stems from a perceptual talent, the same ability that gives dyslexic individuals exceptional spatial awareness, creativity, and three-dimensional thinking. The problem is that no one has shown them how to control it.

Through the workshop, you’ll explore how Davis Orientation Counselling and Davis Symbol Mastery help address confusion, disorientation, and reading challenges at the root.

✅ Learn practical Davis methods for supporting dyslexic learners
✅ Understand why words, letters, and symbols can trigger confusion
✅ Explore hands-on clay modelling and concept mastery
✅ Take the first step towards Davis Dyslexia Facilitator training

📅 Workshop dates: 23–27 November 2026
💻 Online via Zoom
🕒 12pm–7pm NZDT each day
💰 Early bird pricing ends: 2 November
⏳ Registrations accepted until: 23 November

🎙️ In this episode of Dyslexia Unpuzzled, Nikki Palamountain speaks with fellow Davis Facilitator Sue Hall about why so many capable dyslexic learners still struggle in traditional education.

Sue explains that the issue often begins with the idea that there is only one “right” way to learn, and that all students must fit into the same box.

For dyslexic thinkers, words and concepts often need to be discovered in a more tangible, meaningful way. When teachers are not given the tools to support that, bright learners can be left feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood.

Remembering our friend and founder of the Davis Method, Ron Davis.

Today, all of us at Davis Pacific want to honour the extraordinary legacy of our dear friend and very own Ron Davis. Ron left a profound and lasting impression on everyone he met, and his memory will stay with us always.

We were fortunate enough to cultivate a great friendship with Ron over the years, crossing paths with him at gatherings across the globe. Below are a few fond memories of our Davis Pacific facilitators alongside Ron at symposiums in Malvern, United Kingdom, and Freiberg, Germany. Ron had the warmest smile and one he shared freely, especially when surrounded by those he cared for. He considered his colleagues family, and that feeling was mutual.

We want to thank our community for your enduring support, and express our deepest gratitude to Ron for his incredible achievements in neurodiversity, education, and the countless lives he transformed.

🧠 October is a big month for neurodiversity awareness.

This month recognises Dyslexia Awareness Month, ADHD Awareness Month, and Dyspraxia Awareness Week.

Dyslexia, ADHD, and dyspraxia can all affect learning, focus, movement, confidence, and everyday life in different ways. But they are not signs of laziness, low intelligence, or lack of effort.

They are different ways of thinking, processing, and experiencing the world.

At Davis Pacific, we believe awareness is only the first step. True support begins when we understand the individual, recognise what is really causing confusion, and provide tools that help them build clarity, confidence, and control.

It’s not just a phase! ✨

While the way ADHD shows up may change over time, the need for understanding, support, and practical tools does not disappear.

Waiting it out can leave individuals feeling confused, frustrated, and unsupported. Real progress comes from learning strategies that help with focus, self-regulation, and everyday life in ways that work for the individual.

🟣 At Davis Pacific, we believe the goal is not to ignore the challenge, it’s to build lifelong tools for calm, clarity, and control.

🧠 Amazing Minds: Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was one of history’s greatest creative geniuses, moving between art, anatomy, engineering, optics, invention, and observation with extraordinary curiosity.

He was also known for traits that feel familiar today: unfinished projects, shifting interests, unusual sleep patterns, mirror writing, and a mind that jumped rapidly between ideas.

And still, his different way of thinking helped shape the world.

What kinds of neurodiversity do these typical behaviours remind you of?
