"The Davis method has really put together a well-formed program that cuts right through the barriers of dyslexia and slays the dyslexia dragon, so I do not need to read in fear. I can be myself and read from the heart. Cheryl stopped me from seeing with the eyes that I thought the world sees through, and she had me open the eyes of my heart to see with the eyes of who I could be."- Patrick, COSJ
"We are so glad our son went through Cheryl’s program! We were hesitant to invest what to us seems like a lot of money, but we took the plunge, and it has been revolutionary for our son. He is 14 and was still reading at a 3rd grade level, despite loving books (he is an avid reader of audiobooks, especially classical literature) and having comprehension skills above grade level. Through Cheryl's Davis Program, he was able to learn several tools to get himself to an "alert, calm, ready to learn" state, as well as several tools to manage his reading. These tools have helped him progress to reading much closer to his grade level, and thinking of himself as someone who can "read with his eyes" instead of only "reading with his ears" (audiobooks). He is continuing to apply the tools learned with Cheryl to new situations, beyond reading. We are so thankful for Cheryl’s gracious, encouraging tone, and her expert work, and we look forward to our son's future as an avid reader. We feel so blessed."- Sarah U.
"We just wrapped up the Davis Reading Program for Young Learners with Cheryl, and we were truly blown away by Cheryl's commitment to our 6-yr old's success. Cheryl is the personification of love, dedication, and generosity. She was fully dedicated to our son's success throughout the program, saw his strengths, and helped him realize them and use them to his advantage. She showed pride and enthusiasm in his abilities that were pure and almost child-like! In moments of his frustration (a normal part of the process), she redirected him through his strengths and interests, because she had identified them! In addition, Cheryl was very generous with her time to answer my many questions. She was clearly very invested in bringing about positive change, and it's obvious that she derives great joy from the successes of children. Our little boy seems to have come away with several new tools he can use to his advantage, and we think we already see a new level of ease and willingness to read that seemed to have disappeared over the last several months before the program."- PR
“She went from being confused, sad, and overwhelmed, to self-confident, happy, and excited. She’s thriving now -living life to the fullest.”- Jennifer, mom to Lauren.
“I was struggling in school and my grades were not good. I now see how I can have straight A’s, how smart I feel, and how I can get on the honor roll. I go into class feeling confident. I feel it is easy! I am helping others in class now!”- Lauren
"You changed not only our daughter's life, but our whole family. The school, teachers, psychologist, all said that she would not be able to keep up and finish elementary school, but she is now in pre-med and will become a doctor. She enjoyed coming to work with you and called it fun! We will never be able to thank you enough."- RF
