Meghan, 20 years old
- The clay work really allowed me to understand some words more clearly. It gave me a picture to go with something that wasn't so easy to understand.
Cathy, 44 years old
- I felt content by the end of the week that whatever came up, I can accomplish by breaking it into manageable parts. I recognize confusions and have the tools to do something about them.
George, 49 years old
- In the past five days, I am reading a lot better - writing and spelling is also a lot better. My voice projection seems louder. I have an overall feeling of becoming more confident.
Ken, 27 years old
- This week has changed my life. I have the confidence and the tools to be comfortable in any situation; knowing I can control the way I think, the way I act, the way I learn. I've changed into someone that can achieve all of his goals by having/knowing the tools.
Michael, 37 years old, entrepreneur
- I’m able to relax and focus more. I can read the larger words. I was not able to break them down to figure them out. They were just a bunch of letters. I don’t have trouble with reversing letters anymore since I did them in clay. I feel more confident now.
Pat, 34 years old, mother of two
· I can now stop the dizzy feeling in my head. In the past I’ve talked to my doctor about it and could only describe it to her as “feeling off”. This week I’ve learned that it’s being disoriented AND I can correct it!
· I can already see improvement in my disorganized way of tackling tasks. I am able to approach things in a more systematic manner and actually complete a job!
Azira N., 34 years old, Accounting Specialist
- The most important thing that I learned from the program is "being in control". I know how much I suffered in silence as a child and later as an adult. The Davis Program is an excellent program to help you with the orientation, concentration and focus. Helen is a great facilitator and the most amazing educator who made learning fun and easy for me. I will never be confused about "g" and "j" any more. English is my second language and I was thrilled to "master" sounds of the letters and the alphabet forwards and backwards in a very short period of time. Letters and sounds will never confuse me again.
- Best of all is getting rid of my dizziness. After two weeks of training with focussing my dizziness disappeared!! I was never able to go for a roller coaster ride due to my dizziness, but guess what, I recently went on the largest roller coaster ride with four loops two times in a row, and felt no dizziness at all! This is just unbelievable! I am happy I can enjoy my childhood for the first time at this age!
- I loved the way you taught me, I have never felt so comfortable learning in my entire educational life. Thanks Helen, Thanks Davis Program!
RJ Hill, 71 years old, retired teacher/writer
· One of the great things about your coaching was the way you forgave me for mistakes and helped me put together many pieces of my life's puzzle. I believe you were the most helpful coach I ever had. You moved me beyond my fears.

Cameron, 13 years old
- Before I got here I wrote really awful. On the second afternoon I could write amazing! It was as good as my teacher’s writing or better. That day I also started cursive. My cursive writing was never readable – two days later my cursive writing is just as good as my uncle’s and as good as my mom’s. I highly recommend this program. [See Cameron's writing]
Parker, 13 years old
- The program helped me see how I think. The clay work shows me the meaning of a word in a 3-D image, just like the way I think.
Ben, 17 years old
- It's a lot easier for me to stay calm and not fidget and a lot easier to fall asleep and control my energy levels. Reading is also a lot easier. This week I'm reading more. I never really read much and now I'm reading books for pleasure.

Gage, 9 years old
- I've been able to spell words that I've never been able to spell...NEVER!
- When I read, words are starting to come out that have just been hibernating in my brain for the last six years.
- There is a big change in my writing - it's much neater.
Gage's mother, 3 months after program
- There was such an incredible difference in him after this one week program that I don’t know where to begin! Not only has his reading reached a grade 3 level (within 2 months of the program), but his printing is better, his self esteem has improved, his whole person seems to be so much happier. [See full letter...]
Tristan, 10 years old
- Now I know how to write neater, read harder books and get better at spelling and getting oriented. It was fun 'cause I got to play with clay!
Nathan, 11 years old
- I feel like I have more power over stuff... can correct myself...like reading. Now I can read articles about stuff I'm interested in. I got a new magazine yesterday, now I don't just look at the pictures, I can read it!
Jason, 8 years old
- Jason’s mom writes (6 months after the program): As you know when Jason first visited with you his reading and writing skills were well below the grade 3 expectations. Not only were his reading and writing skills weak but his level of participation and enjoyment in the classroom was also very weak. Since participating in your program we have seen and felt a significant improvement (in what seems a remarkably short period of time) not only his reading and writing skills but also in his level of happiness and contentment which we absolutely believe stems from the tools given to him through your program. Jason successfully completed his grade 3 school year by increasing his marks in every subject.
Jake, 7 years old
- Now I know how to get focussed. I'm not distracted as easily anymore. The clay has helped me recognize letters and words and I have much better looking letters now.
James, 8 ½ years old
- Now I know when I am disoriented...like when I'm getting ready for bed, things that i see around me distract me and...when there is too many things on my mind. So all I have to do is check my point.
- After I do Koosh ball my reading is smooth.
