Davis Dyslexia Correction Methods

Will Davis methods help a person taking medication for ADD/ADHD?

We do not recommend the Davis program for individuals using medication to control the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder or hyperactivity. These include medications such as Ritalin, Cylert, Prozac, or Zoloft.

Some medicines (particularly those that affect the central nervous system) hamper a person’s ability to use creative thought, or to visualize or picture things using imagination. This becomes significant when doing Davis Orientation Counseling® as well as the Fine Tuning sections of our program. During these times, individuals are using multi-dimensional thought and perceptual abilities that are quite natural for them. Psychoactive drugs will inhibit the individual from using these talents.

Doing the Davis program will not harm an individual who is taking such medications. It's just that the full benefits of the Davis program often cannot be obtained in such a situation.

If you are considering the Davis program with a licensed provider, it is important that you discuss all medications with the provider prior to beginning the program. This will help you and the provider decide whether the program is right for you.
