We have collected a lot of information for you to help you understand learning difficulties, the Davis approach and other resources available to you. We also hope to inspire you to see learning difficulties in a new light, which shows that there is essentially nothing wrong with people that have been labelled learning disabled. They simply think differently from the verbal thinkers, that mainstream education is designed for.
