Services
Dyslexia, Math & Attention Programs
- Davis® Mastery for Dyslexia — language arts concentration
- Davis® Math Mastery — math computation and concepts
- Davis® Attention Mastery — focus and executive functioning
- Davis® Foundations for Reading — foundational reading skills for young learners, with a parent-participation component
- Dysgraphia Program — handwriting and written expression. Standalone tutoring is available, though in my experience, dysgraphia is rarely an isolated issue — it’s usually connected to dyslexia, attention, or another underlying challenge, and addressing that root cause tends to bring the most complete and lasting results.
Autism Programs
The Davis Autism Approach® is a gentle, non-invasive approach developed by Ron Davis — himself autistic — to help transform the lives of autistic people and their families. Students learn simple, effective self-regulation tools for stress, energy, and focus, then build key life concepts out of clay to create a framework for understanding the world around them.
- Davis Autism Approach® — for ASD individuals 8 and up
- Stepping Stones — beginning steps toward the Davis Autism Approach, for those under 8 or with low/no verbal ability
- Stepping Stones 2 — for those who’ve completed Stepping Stones but aren’t yet ready for the full Davis Autism Approach program
For Teens & Adults: Davis® Concepts for Life
Every program above is also available to teens and adults — but Concepts for Life is built specifically for this stage of life. It goes beyond focus and academics to address the underlying life concepts — time, order, motivation, cause and effect, responsibility — that shape how someone moves through work, relationships, and everyday stress. It’s my favorite program to facilitate, and one that works especially well delivered fully online.

For younger children: Davis® Concepts for Life – Early Years brings the same approach to kids under 8, in a pared-down form done together with a parent. It’s a great fit for spirited children who struggle with transitions, sharing, or big emotions, and it builds the same foundational life concepts through play and clay, with you right there as part of the process.
Screening & Assessment
In-person screening: A 90-minute assessment, available online or in person wherever works best for you — your home, a library, or another convenient space. Testing covers reading, writing, spelling, math, and attention. Cost: $480.
Free online screening: The Davis Dyslexia Association offers a free online dyslexia screening.
Every program begins with an assessment to make sure a Davis® program — and the right one — is the appropriate fit.
Dyslexia Coaching
Beyond the Davis® programs, I also offer hourly Dyslexia Coaching — a separate, standalone service for parents, grandparents, teachers, or coaches who want guidance without enrolling in a full program. This includes coaching for dyslexic and neurodivergent athletes — I’ve worked directly with athletes navigating a hard season, helping them and the adults around them (coaches, parents) understand what’s really going on and how to move forward.
Parenting Skills Course
A 7-week Parenting Skills course, designed by Beth Currie-Shier, for parents whose children have already completed a Davis® program. This is a separate offering from the Davis® programs themselves, though it builds on the skills and concepts your child has already learned.
