In Ronald D. Davis's first book, The Gift of Dyslexia, he shared his own experiences of living with the condition and overcoming difficulties through methods he personally devised, based on his ability to think in pictures instead of words. In this follow-up book, he applies the same techniques to supporting learners with attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyscalculia and dysgraphia.
In section one, the author describes these disabilities and the learning process, while extolling the virtues of his own Davis Theory. Section two offers basic tools for developing techniques to support learners, while the final three sections address individual techniques to support those with ADD, ADHD, or difficulties with mathematics or handwriting. Only a third of the book describes these techniques, while the rest is spent on case studies and Davis's theories about how people with learning disabilities think.
