Dyslexia —
We're Here For You in Guernsey
Dyslexia — Dyscalculia — ADHD — Dyspraxia — Autism
Navigating the complexities of dyslexia support in island communities like Guernsey can often feel like an uphill battle, with limited access to specialist services adding layers of frustration to an already challenging journey. At Davis, we recognize these hurdles and are dedicated to bridging the gap between individuals with dyslexia and the support they need.
Discover the difference we can make
(often within a week)
You've waited a long time for help. You or your child may have tried tutoring, strategies or interventions that have delivered some comfort — but the problems are still there. It's as if all the questions you have about dyslexia have a half-answer, but not a whole one. And that leaves you confused and worried about the road ahead.
The Davis Difference
Our approach is rooted in unique insights into dyslexia from within. Our founder, Ronald Davis, was functionally illiterate until the age of 38, after which a personal breakthrough rapidly enabled him to master reading at college level within a short period. Read about Davis' journey.
We honour and celebrate the unique thinking strengths associated with dyslexia. Rather than smothering dyslexic talent with "coping strategies", we work with dyslexics to harness their natural learning style to the tasks they have been finding so difficult.
When this is done, things can change very quickly.
“The Davis Method results in average improvement of almost 4 full grade levels in reading*”
