Helping ADHD, Dyspraxia, APD
Can Davis help with ADHD, dyspraxia, APD? Yes - the Davis tools that were developed to help with dyslexia have also been found to help with ADHD, dyspraxia, and APD (Auditory Processing Disorder).
If you think of all of these conditions as relatives belonging to the same family tree, they can share common attributes. So it is common for ADD/ADHD to be accompanied by other issues (and vice versa) such as dyslexia, difficulties with maths or poor co-ordination. All of these difficulties have a similar cause - a different thinking style and a different way of processing information. The visual thinking style and disorientation that causes the problems with reading, writing and spelling (dyslexia) is also behind poor hand-eye coordination (dyspraxia), mis-hearing instructions and mispronunciations (APD) to name just a few. Regardless of the label, each Davis programme that Remarkable Minds delivers is personalised to your own needs. Any conditions can be worked on together, without the need for separate techniques, so our programme can address any areas that are causing you problems in learning or with life skills. |

ADHD/ADD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder are essentially the same thing. It can affect adults as well as children. Its symptoms include an inability to focus or concentrate and behavioural or social issues.
|
Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia affects co-ordination and motor skills. Because of these poor skills dyspraxic children or adults are often clumsy and have great difficulty writing, catching a ball or riding a bike to name a few symptoms.

Autism can be described as a developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. The severity can vary from individual to individual. Aspergers is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is at the “high functioning” end of the spectrum.
Children and adults have difficulty with social interactions and may exhibit a restricted range of interests and/or repetitive behaviours.
