The Myers Method: A Three-Pronged Approach
Structured Literacy for Dyslexia

Structured Literacy for Dyslexia
Leading with the most powerful type of academic intervention, structured literacy instruction, we quickly and efficiently get to the root of confusions and resolve them. The cognitive dissonance of confusion is at the root of the trauma. Once resolved, we begin building knowledge and skill, to build back the confidence and self-belief that their soul knows is their truth.

We see ADHD as a common disconnect from the child's spiritual core. Each human is born sovereign and divine, with a spiritual core of peace, a still point. But, entry into this world can disrupt that, for many reasons. Through consistent, compassionate, expert behavioral intervention and co-regulation throughout each structured literacy lesson, we build the child's awareness and skill in self-regulation, inhibitory control, goal-directed persistence, attention control, planning and organization, working memory and cognitive flexibility, restoring their connection to their still point.

Trauma Recovery Ministry
Through authentic, compassionate support, relationship and mentoring, we hold the space for the child to heal on all levels: mental, emotional, social, familial and spiritual.

Through authentic, compassionate support, relationship and mentoring, we hold the space for the child to heal on all levels: mental, emotional, social, familial and spiritual. As the cognitive dissonance of failure to read eases and fades, emotions release, relationships come into balance, self-concept is improved, self-belief and courage are restored... flow is restored. That connection to the core of their Being becomes seated again, joy and flow return and the future looks brighter.
About Our Founder and Minister
Why a trauma recovery ministry for children with learning differences?
If you know a child with learning differences, you may already know the answer to this question. If you don't, a quick glance at the relevant literature will be informative. Dr. Alex Granzin, for example, is well-known for his work highlighting the emotional & identity impact of what our founder calls failure to read syndrome. It can start with confusions, frustration and anger around reading failure and progress to social, familial and emotional distress, impacting self esteem and self concept. If not addressed in an effective way, it can progress to outcomes such as school dropout, drug and alcohol abuse, incarceration and even suicidal ideations, according to decades of research.
Our founder, Minister Diana Finch, M.Ed., M.Div., experienced the early phases of failure to read when in first grade. Thankfully, a trained Orton-Gillingham Reading Interventionist came to her classroom and showed her how words work. Diana knew then that this lady was "saving her life". Diana continued to struggle throughout school- undiagnosed- with dyslexia and ADHD. Through sheer determination, she graduated from University of California at Davis and went on to follow in the footsteps of "that lady", earning teaching credentials, two reading certifications and two masters degrees - ultimately becoming the youngest-ever federal-level school reformer (literacy field) in history.
Haven always been a lay minister, Diana completed her master's degree in ministerial science with an emphasis in trauma recovery in February of 2020, officially forming Restoring Flow Ministries - to officially recognize that the work she has done for a lifetime is, indeed, her god-given ministry in the world. She remembers the crushing emotional impact that failure to read had upon her as a child. And, she had seen it in her students every day for decades. When Diana asked God what her ministry should look like, God affirmed to her that she had already been doing it, all these years.
Restoring Flow Ministries (RFM) are Christ-centered
Timeless Understandings
RFM is a Christ-centered ministry, based in the most ancient of mystic understandings, which predate any modern religion. Centered in principles of love and unconditional support, our spiritual base can be seen in the literal words of Jesus, the deep writings of Rumi, the wisdom of Lao Tsu and many other spiritual masters throughout time.
RFM does not teach in terms of religious stories or paradigms but moves to effect healing at the mental, emotional and spiritual levels by resolving the dissonant structures (confusions) found at the core of trauma and restoring the flow and strength of Spirit in the life of the child.
