While working towards his education degree, with undergraduate work in psychology, Larry worked as a job coach and life-skills facilitator. He created, implemented, and evaluated individual programs for people with mental and physical challenges. After graduating from university, Larry became a teacher in the public school system. He worked primarily with students in grades 6-12. Here, he began to see the discrepancy between his students’ intelligence and their ability to perform well in school. Many of his brightest students were the ones struggling to make good grades.The solutions offered by the Davis programs resonated with Larry’s personal history of autism and dyslexia. He took a personal program and, because of the dramatic results, decided this correction was something he needed to offer to others. Larry received his training from Ronald D. Davis, became a licensed Davis Facilitator, and established Rocky Point Academy. In 2008, Larry was invited by the Davis Dyslexia Association International to become a workshop presenter and trainer. He has provided hundreds of personal programs and trained facilitators from around the globe.Larry is an Alberta Literacy Award of Merit recipient. This award recognizes individuals for “exceptional dedication, significant accomplishments in literacy, and outstanding initiative and leadership in support of literacy in Alberta.” Larry gives many presentations to schools, communities, and organizations to enhance awareness of the positive gifts and thought processes that often accompany learning disabilities, ADD, and autism
