Dore Talk

I am a Mum to 3 children, 2 of whom are going through the Dore programme. Our next appt was scheduled for 17th June. For my Son this was to be his last appt having just finished the wind down phase and my daughter is nearing the end. For both children we have witnessed huge changes that are I am sure, due to Dore. I feel that I am grieving with the news about Dore, even though at times its is a pain to get the kids to do the exercises. My Son got English SATS 2 levels higher than expected last year and despite the criticism some people levy at Dore and the lack of scientific base I live by faith and have faith in Dore. We too were at the Bromley Centre and have huge praise for all staff but in particular for Sarah, who always made the effort to get in early so that 2 assessments could be done at the same time. In fact it was only on Monday 19th May that Sarah took the time to phone to see how Rachel was getting on. I firmly believe that if the Government can bail out Northern Rock then they should bail out Dore and restructure it so it is a viable business model within the confines of the LEA.

Hi Carolyn we are all in shock over this and the thought that Dore will not be there anymore is unthinkable. They have made such a difference as you say and I am relieved that both your children have nearly finished. My son Kieran has only been on the treatment for 4 months but his sister is over 2 years post Dore.

As you say the government can bail out Northern Rock but would they do the same for Dore? there is no harm in trying you never know unless you try it!!!!.. Ellie XXX
