"Dyslexia the miracle cure" Has anyone been through the Dore program? Did it work for you? What is it like?

Question

I have a six and a half year old daughter with learning problems. She has purple lensed glasses which have stopped the words dancing around on the page and enabled her to drastically improve her reading. She still can vocalise all answers correctly but cannot write them down as she wants and does not recognise that words and letters numbers are wrong / back to front after writing them. She has all the symptoms of dyslexia, ADHD and dyspraxia but not severely, we have sorted out her speech delay problems and stuttering with a speech therapist but the school have been less than helpful with her clumsiness, lack of attention, lack of ability to follow complex instructions, need for extra help, lack of ability to dress quickly,focus, nor been very supportive about her lack of self estime nor her being bullied . Would going to a Dore acheivement centre and continuing the program for a year benefit her when she turns seven? Have you tried it out ? Did it help? Do you have any advice?

Answer 1

I have dyslexia. I live with it, it is part of me. I think it would be wrong to attempt to "cure" it. Although my spelling is awful (as you can probably tell - I will not use the spell check on this so you get the idea) and I would hardly make a professional cricket fielder I think that I have some benefits from dyslexia which although not obvious are still there. Like how autistic people are often super-numerate.
Basically our minds all work in different ways and dyslexia is one of these differences. You should try to ensure your daughter is happy and can cope with her failings and use her strengths, don't try to "fix" things that are not broken and remember "if it seems to good to be true it is".

Anyway that is all I have to contribute on this matter. Have a great day.
