Changing the lives of those with Learning Difficulties

How did I come to my position today?

I am married to my amazing husband of 30+ years, a mother of 3 wonderful adult children and a grandmother of 2 gorgeous littlies.

Most of my working life has centred around education. When one of our children was struggling at school, dyslexic was mentioned, resulting in the search for a solution.

The Davis Correction method was suggested, we followed up and proceeded with the course. The changes we saw were indescribable! With my education background, I was intrigued to learn more and began my training as a Davis Facilitator.

Being Dyspraxic myself – I understand what it is like to live with Dyslexia. Having family members with it also, I also understand the difficulties of living ‘with’ individuals who have Dyslexia of some form.

I am passionate about sharing this program and assisting people to overcome their difficulties, giving them the ability to control their dyslexia and enjoy a fulfilling life.  The results have been totally transformational for some clients, finding a new zest for life, gaining hope, where they once hid behind the label, being ashamed.  It truly is a turning point in their lives.  Dyslexia is a gift – the skills and visions these individuals possess is amazing and they deserve the opportunity to reach their potential whether it be educational, work or life related.

We help children and adults of all ages.  With a 97% success rate, we can help you build your self worth and confidence.  Davis Programs are a Natural Approach geared for results.  All programs are personalised to suit each individuals unique needs.

Donna has specialist knowledge and training to be able to assess individuals and advise them on the best course of action, by offering a solution to resolve their ongoing issues.

She is compassionate when working with individuals, without letting that interfere with her work and your results.

Donna offers a gentle, natural approach with understanding, allowing individuals to work through the program at their own speed, which provides clients with their best results. Donna allows you the time and space to process any difficulties you may experience, while offering support and guidance.

She has developed a strong instinct to be able to read clients and their emotions extremely well, allowing her to be very attentive to each individual.

Donna has a real passion for her business Dyslexia Otago. “There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing clients work through their individual difficulties, using self awareness and the tools given during a program, it really is a life changing experience for them”.

Dyslexia Otago provide personalised, one on one programs in a comfortable and relaxed, environment.  Working over the course of a week,  we focus on your strengths and build on these, rather than focusing on what you can’t do.
