Does This Sound Familiar?
You know your child is bright and capable, yet certain parts of learning seem much harder than they should. Families often come to us after recognizing challenges like these.
Reading feels harder than it should
Reading may be slow, tiring, or frustrating. Your child may lose their place, skip words, struggle to sound out unfamiliar words, or avoid reading aloud.
Spelling doesn't seem to stick
A word may be practiced again and again, yet be difficult to recall later. The same word might even be spelled several different ways on the same page.
Understanding doesn't match reading ability
They may understand ideas easily when listening or discussing them, but have difficulty getting the same meaning from written material.
Math can become confusing
Numbers, sequences, symbols, time, or word problems may be difficult even when your child understands other complex ideas.
Focus can be difficult to maintain
Staying focused, following multi-step directions, organizing work, or keeping track of what comes next may require tremendous effort.
School is affecting their confidence
A curious, capable child may begin avoiding homework, resisting school, or questioning their own abilities after repeated frustration.
If some of this sounds familiar, there may be a different way forward.
HE UNDERSTANDS IT PERSONALLY
For David, This Work Is Personal
David understands dyslexia both professionally and personally. He is dyslexic, and both of his daughters are dyslexic.
When David first discovered the Davis program, he completed it himself before asking one of his children to try it. The difference he experienced was so meaningful that his oldest daughter then completed the program with the same facilitator. Seeing their results inspired David to become a Davis Facilitator himself, and he later had the privilege of guiding his younger daughter through the program.
Today, both of David's daughters are college graduates with Bachelor of Science degrees. His oldest went on to earn a master's degree and now works as a speech-language pathologist.
David also brings more than 15 years of teaching experience and a California teaching credential to his work. He has taught students from kindergarten through high school and has extensive experience adapting instruction to individual learning needs.
Families appreciate David's patient, thoughtful approach. He is a careful listener who takes time to understand the person in front of him and meet each learner where they are.
For David, dyslexia isn't just something he has studied. It's something he and his family have experienced firsthand.
A Different Kind of Approach
The Davis Method doesn't treat dyslexia as a deficit to be managed. It works with the way dyslexic minds actually think.
Understanding the dyslexic mind
Dyslexic thinkers are often picture-thinkers — they process the world in images and concepts rather than sequences of symbols. This is a strength. The Davis Method starts by honoring that.
Tools that match how you think
Rather than drilling phonics harder, the Davis approach uses clay modeling, mental focus techniques, and symbol mastery to build genuine understanding — not memorization.
Lasting results through individualized work
Programs are intensive, hands-on, and tailored to each person. Most clients complete their core program in one to two weeks, with skills that carry forward independently.
Programs Designed for Real Life
Every learner is different. David helps families identify the program that best fits the individual's needs, with programs available in person and online.

What Families Are Saying
Before working with David, my daughter cried every night over homework. She told me she was the dumbest kid in her class. Six weeks after completing her program, she read an entire chapter book on her own — and she was proud. I can't describe what that moment meant to our family.
My son is 14 and had been labeled 'lazy' by teachers for years. What David helped us understand is that he wasn't lazy at all — he was exhausted from working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up. The Davis program gave him strategies that actually work for his brain.
I'm an adult who went through school thinking I just wasn't smart. I was 38 when I did the Davis program. I wish I'd had this 30 years ago. It changed how I see myself.
