The Behaviour Business
Supporters and skeptics discuss the Dore Programme, which claims to be a drug-free way of curing ADHD, dyslexia and other behavioural or learning problems.
Wynford Dore, the creator of the programme, explains the controversy around the treatment, which he claims is a way of rewiring young brains.
The theory behind the treatment is that the area of the brain called the cerebellum can be rebuilt. Just like a muscle, if you exercise it, it will respond and grow.
Debbie Smith and her son Robert, who is set to use the programme to treat his ADHD, talk about their experiences.
Professor Maggie Snowling from York University looks at the science behind the programme, which she believes is flawed.

Dore again?19 March 2009 - 20:02I don't understand why Dore is being given yet more air time. The dodgy science behind it has already been well exposed by others.
It went into receivership last year and clients world-wide lost loads of money - now some rugby player is trying to revive the UK branch from the ashes.
It's time Dore was sent to the eternal waste bin along with learning styles and Brain Gym...

Re : Dore again?21 September 2009 - 18:44Do you speak from first hand experience of DORE?
I am a teacher of 15 years, who loves Brain Gym. A winner of a teaching award for SEN and a mother whose son received treatment with DORE.
Thanks to DORE my son doesn't feel 'different' anymore. His dyspraxia, mild dyslexia and ADHD have been made easier/lessened and in some areas completely improved.
I have seen a pupil and his mother on the programme and seen what a difference it has made to them and their families lives.
With regards to 'Brain Gym'. I tried it in my class for the 2 weeks that I was promised I would see a difference. 3-4 minutes after assembly, break and lunch. The class were completely different. Much calmer and they enjoyed the 'calm down' time. Some times we did 'Move it' and 'woke the class up'. If I ever forgot to do the activity I would be left wondering what had happened to the class. (They were high as a kite)
Please feel free to contact me further with regards any first hand experiences that I have had with either programme.
