Empowering unique thinkers.
Nurturing the seeds of change.

 

Embrace the gift and learn how you or a loved one can overcome the struggles of Dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism without medication.

Individuals with these learning challenges think mostly in pictures, rather than words or numbers. They are imaginative and creative; and they try to solve problems by looking at the whole picture, rather than working step-by-step.

The talent of visual thinking enables many strengths, like problem solving, intuitiveness, creativity and curiosity, all of which are traits shared by innovators throughout history. However, it can cause challenges when it comes to traditional learning techniques.

About Renaissance Mind®

Renaissance Mind® (part of Dr. Angie’s Place) is a Learning Facility that empowers children to realize their giftedness and overcome the obstacles of learning that accompany the unique thinking styles of Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. We do this by providing knowledge and understanding to the adults in their lives, as well as imparting the necessary tools and techniques for the child to live a full, healthy and successful life.

Renaissance Mind® utilizes multiple, non-pharmaceutical techniques that are tactile, fun and unique to each client. The programs involve focusing, comprehension, perception, orientation, math skills, reading and handwriting skills.

As a transformational and instructional speaker and educator, Dr. Angie has dedicated herself to helping others, of all ages, to find joy and peace in their lives.

 
 

Davis® Programs rely on using the mental talents that people have to overcome their learning challenges. To do this, students must follow a different approach to learning.

When Dyslexic or AD(H)D students recognize their mental talents, they develop a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence. When they start to employ study methods which capitalize on their talents, progress is very rapid.

The Davis® Method – Answer to Dyslexia and AD(HD)

 

The Davis® Method has achieved impressive results in correcting Dyslexia without medication, while maintaining the innate talents inherent to this style of thinking.

The Davis® Method provides tools to overcome problems with reading, writing, attentive focus and orientation. These methods enable children and adults to recognize and control the mental processes that cause distorted perceptions. Once students can be sure their perceptions are accurate, they can resolve the underlying cause of their learning difficulties through methods that build upon their creative and imaginative strengths.

In 1980, at age 38, Ron Davis overcame his own severe dyslexia. For the first time in his life, he could read and enjoy a book without struggling. After independent clinical research and working with experts in many fields, Ron Davis perfected his program for correcting dyslexia in adults and children. In 1982, Ron Davis and Dr. Fatima Ali, Ph.D, opened the Reading Research Council Dyslexia Correction Center in California, achieving a 97% success rate in helping clients overcome their learning problems.

 

What you can expect by using the Davis® Method:

 

  • Improved reading

  • Increased ability to focus

  • Increased control of energy level

  • Coping mechanisms for dealing with frustration

  • An understanding that they are intelligent and can be successful

  • The understanding of why Dyslexia is a “gift”

  • DYSCALCULIA – challenges with math

  • DYSGRAPHIA – challenges with handwriting

  • DYSPRAXIA – challenges with balance and/or coordination

Client Success Stories

Nick not only increased his STAR reading scores but he also took home a prize in the science fair. At his most recent follow-up appointment, he was sporting a new book. “This is the second book I am reading in the series. I actually am starting to like to read.”

Nick

“I felt myself slipping away at the age of three. Every day I became more lost. Now, I have found myself. I have found Marie. I am now living life through myself.”

Marie, Age 51
Autism Client

“I love Dr. Angie. She helped me know that I am special. Even though I don’t read and write like everyone else in my class, I know that I am smart and creative. I know that I can imagine things that other people can’t. Using clay helps me to learn and remember things and my imaginary tools help me every day at school. My homework is better with my mom now too. In our house, we think Ron Davis is a rock star!”
