Karen LoGiudice

We were so frustrated watching our bright, enthusiastic daughter having so much difficulty with spelling and writing. What a pleasure it is to see her master words and know that she will never have a problem spelling them again. In fact, she spells them better than me--forwards and backwards and forwards again!

The Davis Dyslexia program gave our daughter more than help with her dyslexia. I've been impressed with how much her ability to modulate her interactions with her peers has improved, and how she is able to focus and organize herself better.

I knew I wanted the Davis program, but I was doubly delighted to find that Karen LoGiudice herself was an absolute treasure. My daughter fell in love with her. Karen was patient, fun, kind, and so supportive of all the hard work being done. My daughter loved doing this program because she felt like a super star from day one. I loved it because she helped me see better how to encourage greatness in my child.

My dyslexia went undiagnosed until shortly after my 30th birthday. I went to Karen for help because I was struggling through my master's degree courses and at work. I set up a week-long training boot camp with Karen. It was a great decision! I'm able to read for pleasure more proficiently than before. I have also raised my GPA at school. Heading into my final semester of my master's degree program, my GPA is now 3.89.

The bottom line is, I was always embarrassed about my reading ability. I felt like I was stupid and not worthy of knowledge like the other kids in my classes. I was ashamed of how poor my reading comprehension was.

Since the training sessions I have seen a dramatic improvement. I still struggle sometimes, but I'm in a much better situation now. Karen gave me some helpful self-awareness tools so I can manage my stress-level more effectively. One component to dyslexia is the struggle to stay oriented. Stress is something that made me disoriented and unable to retain what I read. It has now been a year since the training sessions and I still am noticing the benefits of her program. Karen is a really sweet person who genuinely cares about my progress. I highly recommend her training sessions to anyone.

[Our son] had struggled with math for three years before committing to a Davis program. Having experienced great success with a Davis Dyslexia Correction program [reading], he was in a good place for positive results. Still, Karen had some defenses to breach: He had only recently admitted to himself that underlying confusion about basic math concepts was interfering with his ability to progress. Karen worked hard to establish a safe place for him to clear up his confusions, and the results were immediately obvious.

Eight months later, he continues to improve in math, moving from below-grade level to grade-level. His math teacher praises his strong grasp of math concepts and his willingness to "slow down and focus" when mathematical operations trip him up. Before his Davis math program, he said, "mistakes don't matter." Now, using his newfound confidence and picture-thinker's skills, he works to correct them. What more could we ask for?

It has only been a few weeks since my program, but I am already seeing remarkable differences in my life! You were right when you said that this was WAY more than a reading program...Dyslexia and ADHD is a LIFE thing.

Interestingly, I have noticed a marked improvement with my sense of direction, my ability to reset myself/get calm and centered in my interactions with co-workers (and they are responding much better to my ideas), and my spelling is miraculously better! Having the tools to manage my dyslexic symptoms and understanding how to correct the problematic areas in my life has been huge. Lastly, I am excited to tell you that I no longer feel ashamed of being dyslexic! You have enabled me to see how my Dyslexia is a gift and I know now that I had been using it all along without even realizing it. What a relief! Thank you so much!

You don't know how bad it feels when you can't read. You feel like you are on the bottom of the world.

I'm glad I took the program because now I can read! ...When you can read, and you can finish a book, you feel like you are on top of the world!

The Davis program has done so much for my child. She came away from the week with Karen with an understanding and excitement about her learning style and her abilities. She was given 30 hours of one-on-one tutoring/training that propelled her a giant step forward in her reading ability. She was given tools and strategies that she can use every day in the classroom, and in the outside world. Finally, and maybe most importantly, she walked away with a sense of ownership of her future learning, a true appreciation for her accomplishments thus far.
