The Director/Facilitator - Colleen Malone
Colleen Malone is the founder of York Region Dyslexia, located in Newmarket, Ontario. She has been a Davis Facilitator since November 2010, working with clients of all ages, children, teenager and adults who struggle with learning in school and/or the workplace. She is passionate about working with those who have had difficulties with reading, math and attention.
She became interested in the Davis programs when her daughter was having difficulty in the classroom while in high school. Knowing that she had potential, Colleen could see that she was struggling with her schoolwork and completing her assignments. We were eager to look for answers to help our daughter. The school began testing but after trying different tutoring methods and accelerated learning to help her catch up at the local schoolboard, something was still needed. That is when Colleen came across the Davis Method and immediately became interested in the programs. While working with a Davis facilitator in the area, we could see how the methods were helping her. After the program was completed and seeing the improvements in their daughter’s schoolwork, Colleen decided to pursue the Davis training program to become a facilitator.
While continuing her position at Southlake Regional Hospital, Colleen went through the training process to become a licensed Davis Facilitator working with children/adults. She has had the privilege of working with many children and adults to help them learn these methods so that they may achieve success while gaining confidence. It has been a delight to see the changes that occur before, during and after a Davis Program. I would like to invite you to find out more about this life changing program for Dyslexia, ADHD, writing and math in Ron D. Davis’s books “The Gift of Dyslexia.’” and “The Gift of Learning.”
Colleen has enjoyed her career paths, working at a busy regional hospital in the Cancer Clinic and Coronary Care Unit for 25 years and now helping children and adults learn the Davis methods for a better tomorrow. Helping others, “is what I do best” she says. In her spare time, she loves to be outdoors in nature, hiking, canoeing and camping while spending time with family.
