Dyslexia, Different Thinking, and the Davis Method Why can someone be intelligent, creative and capable, yet struggle with reading, writing, organising ideas or completing assignments? In this conversation, Stephen Harrison is joined by Rachel Barwell, founder of Master Dyslexia and licensed Davis Dyslexia Facilitator, to explore these questions and the work of Ronald D. Davis. Rachel shares how she became interested in dyslexia, what she discovered about her own ADHD and dyspraxia, and how the Davis Method approaches visual thinking, perceptual disorientation and learning. The conversation moves into practical examples involving coordination, understanding time, planning assignments, managing deadlines and avoiding unsustainable working patterns. The discussion emphasises recognising strengths without overlooking genuine support needs. Rachel describes outcomes she has observed in her practice, while the accompanying canonical article distinguishes these experiences from independently established evidence about intervention effectiveness.
