The Davis Model of
Dyslexia Intervention: Lessons from One Child

Abstract
Ronald Davis developed a theoretical base for the Davis model of
understanding dyslexia. The model describes the cause of dyslexia and
prescribes certain strategies for intervention. The strategies consist
of three main components. The first is the Davis Orientation Counselling
procedure, while the second is the Davis Symbol Mastery procedure and
finally the Davis Reading Exercises. Annie is a 9-year-old child
diagnosed with dyslexia with major problems in the area of visual
perceptual skills, which manifest academically in the area of reading
and writing. The Davis strategies were used to help correct her dyslexia
symptoms. The results suggest that the Davis Orientation Counselling
method has helped to correct her visual perceptual problems, which in
turn improves her reading and writing skills. Furthermore, the Davis
Symbol Mastery was able to help identify and correct her problems with
reversals. Finally, the Davis Reading Exercises helped her in tracking
and in word recognition. Therefore, it is suggested that the Davis
method offers a plausible explanation for Annie's dyslexic symptoms.
