Keep your chin up girl, not long to go now, we're looking forward to
hearing Paige's results, sorry you might have told us before, bit is
her diagnosis ADD or Dyslexia (don't think it really matters as
there's so much overlap. Did you manage to read on the other site, all
our results are posted on there. We'll be able to chat about exercises
this time next week.
  Some experts tend to see Dore as some sort of threat to their beliefs
I like to see them all complementing each other. So people are
cautious about things they don't really understand.
We all get the wobblies some days, thinking is it going to work?
My son never crawled (apparently you need a good 6 months of crawling)
so he missed a huge chunk of repetitive coordinated exercise, which so
important in forming those neural connections.
3 more days!!

I just took Paige to her reading tutor today and the tutor, who is
very familiar with all sorts of learning problems, seemed
frustrated....said nothing was sticking today. Ughhhh....half of me
still wanted to cry and the other half of me thought about Dore and
how we are starting it on Wednesday. I had given the tutor the Dore
book as she seemed interested last week. She gave it back to me this
week w/o a comment. I will not mention it again and see if she if
mentions a change in Paige in the months to come. Thank God I have
this in my future or I would be fighting being depressed. Instead, I
feel so hopeful. Some of that is because I can get on this group and
read the successes you ahead of me are having. So thank you for
taking the time to share!

Some improvements with Matthew this week,
He made me a card this am, with a poem in it, spelling was poor but
I could read it and the the writing was smaller and more legible. He
also wrote a shopping list out with about 10 items on it that we had
been saying we need the last couple of days.
He is a very empathic child and told his Dad to put the news on the
radio off (yes he was listening to it) because it was "troubling"
him and he wanted to stay in his "happy place". Earlier on this week
he said "could I have an alarm clock for my birthday, I
would "appreciate" that. The words he is coming out with now are
thrilling and make me smile. On the memory front he keeps asking his
Dad if he's watered his plants, he left the top of lunch box in
school and promised to ask for it, which he tells me he did
remember. His exercises are improving well this week. He has one
where he balances on the balls of his feet on the edge of the stairs
and goes up and down 20 times, he did it for the first time this am,
after days of swinging off and lots of moans. Quite a good week on
the Dore front.

I am so pleased Chris for Harry Doesnt it want to make you cry when
they have struggled with something for so long and then suddenly you
realise how much they are improving week after week. You have all the
ups and downs where they do not seem to be making any headway and
then suddenly bang its there. I cried for the first time when Leila
told me a memory of two years before and I realised that she had had
no memory of what she had done yesterday, the week before or month or
year before. For me it was the start of clearing of the "fog" that
had affected her learning and comprehension of life itself. Harry is
making headway and starting to remember what he is learning and of
course it will get better and better as the treatment continues. Once
he starts reminding you of things you have forgotten then you will
know he is beginning to retain the information taught to him and
importantly remember it a week, month and a year later. This is how
our children learn and develop if you haven't got that then they will
continually struggle to understand what is going on around them and
of course they will never fully reach their learning potential. That
is why the treatment given by Dore is so important for their future.

Hello Amypaige1999 My daughter is nearly 12 next week infact. She had
always had problems with learning at school. At 9 she had a reading age
of a 6 year old. She was permanenlty in a world of her own, which I
came to name as " the fog". The teachers could teach her a maths
formula one day and she would forget it the next. Unlike the majority
of those with dyslexia, dyspraxia etc who have strong areas of learning
she struggled with everything even the days of the week and time of day.
Because her learning was low across the board she could not be labeled
as having dyslexia etc. I became desperate to find a reason for her
problems which is why I found Dore here in the UK. It was such a relief
for her to finally have a diagnosis and she commenced the treatment 3
years ago. It took 18 months to finish but what a change in a child.
She is now on a par with her peers, her exams she took at school in the
summer while she was on the treatment were ungraded but within 9 months
she had made up that lost time and is now on a par with her peers. 18
months down the line she remains normal and she has not degressed which
shows the treatment is permanently maintained. Myself was diagnosed
with dyslexia a month ago after all these years and her 6 year old
brother is also showing signs of it. I am hoping for us to also undergo
tyhe treatment in January 08. I would recommend it to anyone and am a
great believer in their treatment, I have a daughter to prove it.

Hi all, My daughter is nine and she has adhd and a mild auditory
processing disorder. She has been doing dore for 8 weeks. She likes
doing the exercises because she says she can feel them helping her. She
can now ride a bike and this is something she could not do before she
started the exercises, despite huge effort. We look forward to seeing
many more improvements!

Kizzy.ellie,
I would love to hear more details about your daughter....how old is
she....what were her issues? And when did you begin to notice changes?
Give us the scoop as many of us are just beginning and it helps so
much to hear success stories!!
Are you in the US or IK?
~amy

Hi everyone I have just joined the group. My daughter has been through
the Dore treatment and her life has changed bedause of it. Myself and
her brother are in the pipeline to start the treatment ourselves early
next year when he is 7.

Calico,
I wonder if you could call your Dore center before your next visit
and fill them in...that he only reads 1/4 of the directions and
sometimes the exercises wrong, so they can stress the importance of
doing them correctly. He does not need to know you called ahead!

Hi Kim, This is my first post. My daughter started the DORE programm
about two months ago. We have been going fine with the exercises and
she has made a few comments about better concentration with maths. She
can also ride a bike quite well. Bye for now Felisa.

Hi Kim, nice to see the numbers rising.
Look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi All,

My son started the program 6 weeks ago, thus far all is going pretty
well. We have our 1st follow up on Thurs. at the Schaumburg, IL
center. I haven't noticed any changes yet, but I know it takes time.
Chat soon, Kim

Hi calico I have put in the links on here, with some other favourite
links, hope that's ok with the mods.

For anyone interested in the link to the "Dore and Personal Experience"
forum, since I have a different name here, just wanted it known that I
am 1kid2dogs on that forum. Thanks Lelly, for posting the link.  :-)

Hello to the old and the new.  My son is 14, with ADHD and reading
issues, and started Dore in early December, here in the southwest
United States.  We are struggling doing the exercises, but carry on.
He is at dad's house every other week. Dad is not coaching/ensuring
the therapy is done correctly/marked correctly, etc., so have been
tryging to find a way to do them with as little input from his dad.
DS meets me at my house every day after school, so we are doing his
morning ones then, by 3:30, then the evening ones at 7:30.  Dore says
that there needs to be at least 4 hours between, so this may work in
elimiinating the "coachless" times.  I hope.  Steve, maybe a schedule
like that may help with your daugher if you have a good chunk of time
in the afternoon??  DS also HATES to be corrected. He like to read
about 1/4 of the instructions and get right to it. He does have fun
with them, but then he resists many times the corrections, and then
has to verbally argue while continuing on with them.  It's tough.  I
think it will get better. I showed him the show on Scott Quinnell,
and I hope that will help solidify that this stuff works.

Hope to see this site catch on.  And, Steve, it is nice to hear about
you as an adult going through the program.  The children often have a
tough time verbalizing what they are noticing, or it is attributed to
natural growth and development.

There's a Dore and personal experience thread on the ADD forums. I
have put the link in the links folder (hope that's ok). It's not as
private as this and we have had some infiltraters!! It's worth a read,
I do post on there, we really need a communitee of our own.
My Thanks to Dore Boston.

Just to let everyone know Wynford has his own blog at
http://wynforddore.blogspot.com/. He has just updated it today.

Hi,
My name is Amy and my daughter Paige begins the program next
Wednesday, the 21st. Prior to getting confirmation of her learning
disabilites, I met a woman who, as a volunteer, talks to parent groups
telling them that learning disabilities stem from cerebellum
underdevelopment and that they can be cured in a year with the correct
exercises. I contacted her as soon as our daughter's teacher told us
of all the trouble she was having in school. The woman said she
recommened Dore if we could afford it, as it was the best one. So here
we are, anxious to get started. We live in the US but I am excited
to "meet" all of you Brits out there!
~ Amy

Good idea Lesley - should've started with that in the first place! :)
My name's Chris and my son is 9 and has been on the Dore program for 2 months -
we are
noticing very small changes and are enjoying the exercises.

Hi My mames Lesley, I'm new today March 13th 2007, I have a 8 yr old
