It's simple and huge all at the same time - learning the three parts of words. 😍☺️

The three parts of a word: why neurodivergent thinkers process reading differently

Every word has three essential components that readers must integrate:
1️⃣ MEANING: What the word represents conceptually
2️⃣ SPELLING: How the word appears visually on the page
3️⃣ SOUND: How the word is pronounced audibly

For neurotypical readers, these three components connect automatically and simultaneously. When they see the word "horse," they instantly recognize the spelling, connect it to the sound /h-o-r-s-e/, and understand the meaning—all in one seamless process.
But for many dyslexic and neurodivergent thinkers, these connections work differently:
They often think primarily in PICTURES, not words

Their brains excel at grasping MEANING (often seeing rich, multidimensional concepts)
But the connections to SPELLING and SOUND can become disconnected or confused
This explains why a highly intelligent person can understand complex concepts yet struggle with basic reading. It's not an intelligence issue—it's a processing difference.
Traditional reading methods focus heavily on phonics (the sound component), which often works against the natural strengths of visual-spatial thinkers.

The Davis Method takes a different approach by using clay modeling to help create concrete, multisensory connections between all three components—building on visual strengths rather than fighting against them.
The result? Often remarkable breakthroughs where traditional methods have failed.

Davis® Workshops and Programs weren’t created in a traditional classrooms or research labs. They emerged from the lived experience of Ronald Dell Davis - a man diagnosed with severe autism and dyslexia who completely transformed our understanding of neurodivergent minds.

In 1942, doctors gave Ron's mother devastating news: her son would "never learn, speak, or achieve beyond what a chimpanzee could." Yet at age nine, Ron suddenly became aware of the world around him, beginning an extraordinary developmental journey.

Unable to learn through traditional methods, young Ron made a profound discovery in his backyard. By mixing dirt with water to create clay, he began modeling letters and objects - creating a multi-sensory bridge to understanding that traditional education couldn't provide.
This child who was labeled "uneducable" tested with an IQ of 137 at age 17 - genius level! By 27, it had risen to an extraordinary 169.

When Ron finally discovered how to overcome his perceptual challenges at age 38, he dedicated his life to helping others. The same clay modeling techniques that helped him make sense of the world as a child became the foundation of the Davis® Method.
What makes our approaches truly unique? It was developed by someone who understood neurodivergence from the inside out - who lived through the challenges and transformed them into breakthrough insights that continue to change lives today.

Why do we use clay to master letters and punctuation? Because it works WITH visual learners, not against them. 🧠✨
When children can touch, mold, and see letters in 3D, abstract symbols become concrete understanding. That's the Davis Method difference.
Watch what happens when learning becomes hands-on instead of frustrating.
