Eleven Meetings Feature Locals Currently Enroled or Graduated from
Dore's
Exercise-based, Medicine-free Program for Learning and Cognitive
Disorders
PYMBLE, NSW--(Business Wire)--
Dore Australia, which offers drug-free treatment for learning,
attention and cognitive symptoms associated with labels such as
Dyslexia, AD/HD, Dyspraxia and Asperger's (high-functioning Autism),
today announced it has scheduled eleven public information meetings in
five states for teachers, parents and others who want to hear more
about these symptoms and the company's unique treatment approach. Each
meeting will feature some of Dore's clients or their parents who can
answer questions and discuss their own experiences living with these
symptoms and with the Dore program. Experts from Dore will also be on
hand to explain the science and theory behind the Dore program and
answer questions.
Clients who go on the Dore program do not need a formal diagnosis
of a particular learning, attention or cognitive label. Many clients
report experiencing symptoms related to one or more of these
conditions, even if there has not been a formal diagnosis. Symptoms
reported by clients include difficulty with:
-- Reading comprehension
-- Structuring thoughts onto a page
-- Copying information from blackboard to paper
-- Writing in a straight line or writing legibly
-- Controlling frustration levels or general emotional control
-- Sequencing information such as recalling lists, order of
days/months or times tables
-- Understanding or identifying consequences of choices or
actions
-- Motor coordination required for sporting
-- Spelling
-- Concentration levels/easily distracted
-- Short-term memory/recalling things just learned
-- Working memory/focusing on more than one task at a time
-- Waiting their turn or waiting in a queue
-- Excessive talking
-- Anxiety/easily overwhelmed/coping with change in routine
-- Social interactions (maintaining eye contact, keeping up with
a conversation, taking comments literally, etc.)
Glynis Howard, National Medical Services and Quality Control
Manager for Dore Australia, said, "With more than 35,000 clients
served since Dore was founded, our story is best told by those who
have experience with the program. These public information meetings
are an opportunity for adults or families who are searching for help
to hear first-hand accounts and ask questions. It is not uncommon at
these meetings for individuals to sit in surprise as we describe their
symptoms or the symptoms of their children and discuss what could be
responsible. Additionally, for audience members who have tried other
therapies to little or no avail, the information discussed at these
meetings may shed new light into their situations and answers many of
their questions."

About Dore Ltd.
The Dore programme was created after Wynford Dore, a successful
entrepreneur, committed his problem-solving skills and resources to
finding a way to help his daughter overcome her severe dyslexia after
traditional methods failed. Assembling a team of experts, they came
across research to suggest that an underdeveloped cerebellum may be
the root cause of learning and cognitive deficiencies such as AD/HD,
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Asperger's. Following Wynford's direction, the
team developed the Dore programme which assesses cerebellar
functioning and uses a customized exercise regimen designed to
stimulate development where needed. The idea that physical exercise
can stimulate the brain is based on the concept of neuroplasticity,
which is the brain's natural ability to create new neural pathways.
Following an initial assessment, Dore clients return every 6-7 weeks
for a follow up appointment. Most clients finish their cerebellar
development in 15-18 months.
To date, the Dore programme has benefitted more than 35,000
clients.
