		<description>John, that "thinking in pictures" thing is a giveaway that the child has been through the Davis Dyslexia program.

http://www.dyslexia.com/program.htm

"Dyslexic people think primarily in pictures, not words, and have difficulty learning to work with symbols such as letters or numerals. When they are confused or frustrated as children, they begin to experience distorted perceptions, such as reversals of letters, and develop life-long learning blocks that hamper their progress."

What the "treatment" consists of:

The two major components of the Davis Dyslexia Correction program are Orientation Counseling and  Symbol Mastery. Davis Dyslexia Correction always includes both of these components.

"Davis Orientation Counseling® teaches dyslexic students how to recognize and control the mental state that leads to distorted and confused perceptions of letters, words and numerals. Through a simple mental technique, the students learn to turn off the thought processes that cause misperceptions. Instead, they are able to restore their minds to a relaxed and focused state, suitable for reading and other studies. Once Orientation is learned, the student is ready to build the conceptual skills that will allow them to overcome problems stemming from dyslexia."

I wish somebody would do a Davis debunking.</description>
