Thriving with D

Thriving with D Welcome! I’m Dolores Gage, 🇬🇧🇪🇸 Davis Facilitator and specialist in transforming the learning and lives of neurodivergent adults and children.

The neurotypes I support (in person and online) include ADHD, autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia. As a Davis® Facilitator, I know what causes Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and ADD/ADHD. I use my experience and expertise to support other English- and Spanish-speaking families struggling with similar challenges in an expat context. I’m based in Madrid, Spain, and deliver one-to-one Davis® Programmes for adults and children both in person (at my office or in their home) and all over the world (through videoconferencing). These programmes empower them with the understanding and tools to manage their symptoms, overcome their difficulties and thrive in their life. I also support parents online through:
- a group course called "Why 'Tyrannosaurus' but not 'if'?" that makes parents the best helpers they can be. This course consists of six practical support sessions (2h each, once a week for 6 weeks)and equips parents with a clear and positive understanding of Dyslexia, as well as practical tools that build on their child's strengths. Even while completing the course, parents feel empowered to support their child more effectively and help them learn more easily.
- an English-speaking support group here on Facebook, also called Thriving with D. Just go to the Groups tab on this Page, and click on the link to access the Group. My goal with the Facebook Group is to provide a safe and supportive forum for international families like mine, and enable them to better understand and support their children's learning and protect/nurture their self-esteem. In the group, I share information about these learning difficulties, my group courses for parents, and insights into the different Davis® Programmes which I offer. I’m also training to be a Davis Autism Facilitator, so while I’m not yet able to deliver Davis Autism Programmes, I do have some understanding of this condition. So if you have someone in your family with autistic symptoms, you are more than welcome to join us in the support group.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be part of the Happily Family Online Conference 2025 — a global, free event (Oct 9–13) inspired by the #1 international bestselling book that brings together real stories and practical strategies for everyday parenting.

This year’s theme: “The Perfectly Imperfect Family: Real Solutions to Calm, Connect & Support Emotional Wellness & Neurodivergence.”

I’ll be joining Cecilia and Jason Hilkey on Sunday, Oct 12, for a conversation based on my chapter, “NEWrodiversity: Minds Decoded, Potential Unlocked.”
We’ll explore:
• Thinking strengths of ND minds
• How ADHD and dyslexia develop — and what helps
• Why disorientation can be the hidden cause of learning difficulties
• The Davis methods that resolve and prevent learning challenges
• The importance of preserving self-esteem in ND kids

The conference offers five days of calm, connection, and hope — plus practical tools families can use right away.
