Selena came to the Davis Dyslexia community from a corporate career in management. She began her formal Davis® training in 2012.
Selena’s interest in Dyslexia was related to learning differences in her own family and an increasing awareness of those around her being affected by some of the difficulties associated with dyslexia. The discovery of the Davis® methods was made during her search for knowledge and understanding of the field, and through subsequently reading “The Gift of Learning” by Ron Davis, which she can only describe as “life changing”. Spurred by the desire to help so many more, Selena completed her training to become a Licensed Davis® Facilitator.
In addition to the core Davis® Dyslexia programmes for children (aged 8yrs+), and adults (as parents, students, or employees wishing to further their career opportunities etc.), Selena also delivers the Davis® Young Learner programme for children aged 5 – 8yrs.
Selena is well located for providing these programmes throughout South Wales, Herefordshire & Gloucestershire.

"He is flying with his reading and writing - I am in awe of what your intervention has done for him. He is finally choosing to read books on his own though we still read to him every day."

"using different methods for reading and spelling has made me read better & feel less different to friends. Don't feel so different anymore!"
9yr old Herefordshire
"Before my fourteen year old daughter started the programme she was mainly in the top set at school but her spelling was really, really awful and her reading was affected as well. She was very worried about starting her GCSE's, especially her English GCSE, as she was worried about how many marks she would lose for spelling and she also worried about not reading the exam questions correctly and so answering wrongly (cont...)
(...cont)The first thing I noticed was as soon as she started the Davis method her confidence skyrocketed and has really stayed up. Since doing the programme her marks, especially for English, have really improved. She recently got 100% in her English GCSE controlled assessment and at her last parents evening her English teacher asked me "What has she done, it's like she's not dyslexic anymore?" and it is true that her spelling is now fine. These massive changes in spelling and confidence has meant that her motivation has also really gone up. I would say that doing the Davis method has really changed my daughters life.
