For as long as I can remember I've known something was wrong with me. Growing up, I found simple childhood tasks impossible: I took a long time to learn to dress myself, I can't ride a bike and I took years to learn to tie my shoelaces. I was so bad at sports that when I moved school aged 14, I pretended they hadn't played sport at my previous school to explain my uselessness. And I'd never been able to balance on one leg - until now. Then, last year, I read an article about dyspraxia - severe developmental co- ordination disorder.

Dyspraxia is so little-known it wasn't even listed in my dictionary, but it instantly dawned on me this was what I had - I demonstrated all of the symptoms listed in the article. This made me feel a bit better. It didn't make me any less dyspraxic, and I assumed that there was nothing I could do about it. Then, a few months ago, I heard about Wynford Dore, a 57-year-old multimillionaire from Coventry who has just written a book in which he claims to have found a cure for dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit disorder (ADHD). Dore has no medical training, but he is founder of the Dore programme, a revolutionary treatment which was initially aimed at dyslexia but which is also applied to dyspraxia and ADHD. It is exercise-based and drug-free, and essentially provides a 'work-out' for the brain.

In a recent book published by Wynford Dore entitled, Dyslexia: The Miracle Cure. States to have been driven by his fatherly concern to pioneer the development of a new non-medical and “curable” exercise program for Susie and other dyslexics, one that he failed to mention I initially told him about 10 years ago and planned to use in a. So can exercises that stimulate the cerebellum and forces the brain to create new connections. Physical exercises challenging the inner ear is all the rage. Wynford Dore. February 21 at 2:34pm.

It was first tried out in 1999, and to date 25,000 people have completed the programme; a further 10,000 people are currently receiving treatment. The programme, claims Dore, has an 85 per cent success rate. Dyspraxia was not in his mind when he devised it. He only wanted to find a cure for his daughter, Susie (now 34), whose battle with severe dyslexia had driven her to attempt suicide three times. Quest Software Keygen Cracks. Dore still remembers seeing his daughter in hospital. 'I felt like a failure,' he says. 'I felt total helplessness at not being able to do something.

It doesn't matter how much you love someone. If they decide life isn't worth living you cannot help but feel you failed them.' Using his programme, Susie has now overcome her dyslexia.

But it is clear that her father still feels tremendous guilt about not having given her the care she needed sooner. Hence his commitment to developing and publicising his treatment. 'I do it because I still live with the guilt of not understanding Susie,' he confesses.

'The guilt I feel because I thought she was choosing to be disorganised. I blamed her for the way she was and that was cruel. There are five million people with learning difficulties in this country who are misunderstood. And the reason I've written this book is so they won't be misunderstood any more.' Having tried conventional treatments for Susie, without success, Dore sold his business and poured his millions into finding a solution.

Study of the medical literature convinced him (in contrast to the prevailing orthodoxy) that the root cause of dyslexia was physiological, not educational. Specifically, he began to believe that dyslexia - and dyspraxia - are caused by an underdeveloped cerebellum: the part of the brain at the base of the skull that processes information and governs balance and co-ordination, enabling people to carry out functions automatically. Dore says he arrived at this theory after reading books on learning difficulties and the cerebellum, notably one by Professor Harold Levinson - a New York psychiatrist - and another by Professor Jeremy Schmahmann - a professor at Harvard medical school. Papers written by Professor Rod Nicholson, an educational psychologist at the University of Sheffield and chair of the international dyslexia conference in 2001, also convinced Dore that he was on the right track; while more recently research at the University of London and University of Oxford has also suggested a link between the density of the cerebellum, balance and learning capability. Dore's theory is essentially that the cerebellum acts as a 'librarian' for the brain, cross-referencing information and 'indexing' skills. In people with dyslexia and dyspraxia, his theory goes, processes such as catching a ball or reading do not become automatic, and the brain's processing capacity or working memory therefore fills up more quickly.
