The Gift of Dyslexia: Why Some of the Smartest People Can't Read...and How They Can Learn

I believe this book can really do what it claims: train an over-sensitized, disoriented brain how to reorient itself, and not remain tripped up by "triggers." Oh, I want to be trained in the Davis Orientation Counseling method! I want the ability to help others (first, sons & self, then extended family, followed by friends, then Thomas Edison Charter School kids, Cache County, the WORLD!). This book and method were created by a dyslexic for dyslexics. The author knows what he's talking about. He understands our "trigger" challenges, and outlines a method to bring them back in line. We are smart! We can learn! We can calm our anxieties and disorientations, becoming calmer and better able to handle and even LOVE learning. Parents of dyslexic children who are struggling to understand them, can find a measure of peace and understanding not found elsewhere. This book makes so many things clear without being preachy or overly technical.
