Dr. Chris Davidson

Founder, Davidson Learning Center

Dr. Chris Davidson is a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP), Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and Parent and Educational Consultant. Her approach is based upon a solid foundation in child development, educational assessment, expertise of learning differences, special-education laws and teamwork.

Dr. Davidson knows the educational system from first-hand experience serving in public schools and diagnosing students in her private practice. Over the years, it became clear individualized intensive instruction was needed for children and their families. Dr. Davidson was inspired to developed her own effective diagnostic and curriculum system.

Davidson Learning Center started with one child in Dr. Davidson’s home office. Now, DLC operates on a preschool-through-high-school campus, offering daily social skills training and speech and language intervention. Mainstreaming opportunities are also available for general education integration and peer interactions and modeling.

Dr. Davidson has dedicated her life studying how children learn, how to rewire the human brain, and to remediate memory, attention, learning, processing speed and abstract reasoning so children can experience breakthroughs and educational success.

Dr. Davidson has been involved in education and the public school system for more than 30 years as a teacher, counselor, school psychologist, senior psychologist, director of special education, and assistant superintendent for student services and human resources. Additionally, Dr. Davidson has served as a university lecturer and author.

Certifications and other qualifications

Our Teachers

Ms. Sharon

After a 30-year film career, I pursued my passion for education and achieved a Masters in the Art of Teaching from U.S.C. with a focus on differentiation, and evidence based, reflective teaching methods.

 At the Davidson Learning Center, we are dedicated to utilizing innovative lessons to promote inquiry, elicit vigorous exploration, and cultivate a culture of collaboration and compassion. We practice one-on-one teaching using tailored learning plans supported by rigorous assessments that continually guide us. 

I am so grateful to work at a place that honors each individual student for their inherent talent, skill, personality, and unique perspective. Our students gain confidence to take on new challenges, practice social skills with their trusted peers, and develop thinking skills in a way that deeply enriches their lives, as well as, their connections with others.  As teachers, we are supported and encouraged by Dr. Davidson and it is so rewarding to work with our amazing students!

Ms. June

My name is Miss June. I have been working at the Davidson Learning Center since 2017. I completed a Dual Credential Program with a Multiple Subject General Education and Mild/Moderate Special Education Credential.  I have a Masters Degree in Special Education and Certification in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I have served as an Elementary Classroom Teacher for over 25 years in the public school system. 

I love the unique opportunity at the DLC to watch our students grow.  Dr. Davidson understands the challenges facing today’s students and uses her expertise and many years of experience to develop customized curriculum for each student.  As a 1:1 Teacher, I have the pleasure of working closely with Parents and Dr. Davidson to address the learning gaps not addressed by other schools. 

I have witnessed and been a part of many success stories as our students transform from the first day they walk through the door.  Some students previously had negative experiences, suffer from anxiety and lack social skills and friendships.  

At the DLC, students love school and enjoy showing their Parents what they truly are capable of doing!
