The Davis® Dyslexia approach is the most successful method worldwide with over 400 licensed Facilitators which has helped thousands of people of all ages.
The Davis Approach is an exciting and positive way forward for people with learning differences. A one-to-one programme of around 30 hours enables effective learning customised to the individual’s needs.
Dyslexics are highly aware of the environment, are more curious than average and think mainly in pictures instead of words. They are highly intuitive and insightful and think multi-dimensionally (using all the senses). They have vivid imaginations and can experience thought as reality too.
Dyslexic students have a hard time remembering things that they do not fully understand. Repetition and drill are a waste of time and increases frustration because they will not retain information unless they understand where it fits into the “big picture”.
Dyslexia: We can help people with dyslexia improve skills at school, at college and at work. Davis methods show you how to use your own natural thinking style to overcome problems with reading, writing, memory and organisation.
Dyscalculia (Maths dyslexia): Davis facilitators will recognise your preferred learning style. Then, using the Davis methods, we show you how to understand maths activities through hands-on experiences rather than by repetition or learning by heart.
AD(H)D: People with AD(H)D are frequently naturally inquisitive, they are good multi-taskers, therefore can be quick-witted and visionary. Moreover they are good lateral thinkers and, more often than not, courageous when it comes to taking risks.
Dyspraxia: Dyspraxia, often referred to as clumsiness or lack of co-ordination, can cause poor time management, handwriting and sense of direction and, thus leading to taking a long time to complete tasks. A Davis Programme will help.
The Davis® programme uses a person’s natural learning ability in a new way. Harness your creativity with this drug free, no drill, hands-on, multi-sensory approach, Simple techniques to control energy levels and experience how it feels to be able to focus and stay on task. An approach that puts the student (child or adult) in control of their dyslexia and shows then how to master whatever they want to learn.
Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about the methods and how I could help you.

Oldfield Smith offer a full range of services, with the knowledge and experience to deliver real world solutions to your property needs, however complex or unusual.
Our aim is to allow you to concentrate on your core business, leaving us to deal efficiently with your property on your behalf. Our website – www.oldfield-smith.co.uk - gives some examples of the matters we can handle for you, including :

Choose from Fixed width or Fully Responsive.
Have you reviewed your presence on the internet recently? Are you missing out on potential business because you do not have a website or is your current one letting you down? Is it in need of updating or redesign so you stand out? Is it EU Cookie Law compliant?
Your company image is what defines you and the Internet is the place to be found.
Every day, potential customers are looking for products and services online and if they cannot find you they will find your competitors. The Internet means that businesses can be found online, outside of the traditional market place area and normal trading hours, offering huge potential additional sales.

www.rogerbloxham.co.uk
Professional photographer with 27 years experience. Weddings, portraits, portfolios, website and brochure photography, project progress records, insurance records.
Following a move from Suffolk to Crowborough in August 2011 I am eager to re-establish my photography service that has been running for twenty-seven years.
My passion is people – weddings, family occasions, portraits, portfolios and events – in fact, anything that involves people! Each commission is treated as unique and is personalised to the client’s wishes. For weddings, my wife partners me to cover the pre-wedding excitement with the bride and, later on, to take the informal shots that complement the traditional shots that are keeping me busy.
Whatever the commission, my charges are based on time spent. There are no ‘extras’.
Whilst I call myself the People Photographer, I also undertake:
● publicity photography for brochures, websites and displays
● project sequence photographic records
● photographic records of insured items
● restoration of historical photographs
I am also happy to offer advice to anyone with a question about an aspect of photography.
My business in Suffolk thrived almost exclusively on personal recommendations from my clients. I look forward to establishing a reputation for a friendly and personal service in Crowborough and the surrounding area..

The station broadcasts on 105FM to a six mile radius of our base at Bird in Eye Farm in Uckfield and is also available online at uckfieldfm.co.uk
Our presenters range from 18 to 70 years old and their shows encompass a diverse blend of music. By daytime, we play the greatest hits from the last 50 years and by evening we have specialist music programmes including Northern Soul, Country, Motown, Jazz and Local Music
Although the station doesn’t broadcast into Crowborough, you can receive it online and also in the villages to the south of the town.
The station has to raise its funding from various sources and not just through advertising or sponsorship. We have to raise money through quiz nights and also receive local and national grants.
Uckfield FM offers local businesses a cost effective medium to advertise their products and services. Your business can have a professional 30 second commercial created from just £70+VAT and then you can have it played on the station from as little as £10+VAT per week. We take you through every step to get your business on the radio with little fuss.
