Schwarcz Becomes First Facilitator in Israel
In 1997, Judith Schwarcz listened to The Gift of Dyslexia on tape and immediately flew to England with her son to do a Davis program with Hilary Farmer and Lin Seward. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to increase awareness of the Davis methods in Israel.
During her Facilitator training in England, Switzerland, and the US, she met and conquered the challenge to adapt Davis Symbol Mastery exercises to an entirely different alphabet and develop a Hebrew trigger word list. She is currently working on translating and publishing a Hebrew edition of The Gift of Dyslexia.
In addition to offering the Davis Dyslexia Correction Program and student advocacy services, Judith runs a parent support group for English Speaking Residents Association (ESRA). In 1998, Judith won the ESRA Volunteer Award for her dynamic leadership, initiative and sensitivity to the needs of the parents and children of the Learning Disabilities Support Group.
