What do you want to know?

What would you like to tell us?

Hi my name is miss ellie and my main reason for joining this forum is to aid the process of those who are going through Dore now and in the future.My daughter completed Dore in October 2005 and has never looked back. I have a lot of faith in Dore as I have seen first hand with Leila how the treatment can change their lives.

Leila always struggled at school and with life in general, she always seemed to be cocooned in a world of her own from an early age, as she reached school age she was classed as just being inmature, a slow learner and don't worry she will catch up. But of course she didn't, by the time she was 9 she was 3 years behind her peers at school, never sat any of the usual school tests as it was felt she wouldn't cope which she wouldn't. I saw my daughter becoming more of a loner at home and school and I dispaired for what her future held. My attempts to get a diagnosis for her problems through the educational psychologist, dyslexia association and paediatritian all agreed she had profound leaning difficulties but because she had a verbal IQ scale of 81 and performance scale of 92 it was considered that she was learning within her IQ range.

I decided in desperation to try and find a reason for Leila's problems and so began a 6 month search on the internet to find it. This was not an easy task Leila was never given a diagnosis for her difficulties so I was looking blind. After that 6 months I had just come off the intenet after another fruiteless search and on sky TV there was an advert for a programme called the Dore achievment center. The symptoms they described fitted with the problems Leila was getting. So back on the computer did their on line questionnaire and within one month she was at the center and I finally had her diagnosis Cerebellum Development Delay.

So began our journey to help Leila to finally be able to learn on the same level as her peers and to finally give her the potential to go for whatever she wanted to do in life. Her progress was slow at first and it was the little things that happened, riding a bike, not falling over daily at school, being able to skip. But as the treatment progressed so did Leila's abilities and confidence. She sat her first exams 6 months into Dore and even though she was ungraded in all subjects the school felt she was progressing well. 18 months down the line Leila finished Dore. Where she was ungraded the year before she was now graded 3 on a par with all her peers, she was finally able to came out of learning needs for the first time ever and has moved onto secondary school. We have seen a child blossom from one who was considered as a low achiever to one who is making up for lost time and is now able to look forward to the future and know that what ever she wants to do in life is now achievable.

Without Dore her future was very bleak she would have continued to struggle with even the basics in life and I cannot imagine how she would have coped alone in the future. With Dore they gave us a happy contented child who has wisdom beyond her years and one who draws the young and old to her with her ability to see the good in everybody and a serenity which says I am happy to be me and I know what I want out of life. You cannot ask for anything better than that can you

I'd like to see a introductions thread, an help with exercises thread(some can be difficult to understand), getting the word out thread, thread for people genuinley interested in Dore and wanting information and a testimonial thread. I would like all posts (well most posts) allowed even the negative ones, as I'm sure there are plenty of us to give answers. I'd like only the repetitive (spamming ones) to be removed.

Why is the web address doresports ? This forum seems to be for all DORE clients. Perhaps a Dore sports thread would be good.

Very happy that you've started up been anxiously waiting since Xmas.

Found the introductions thread!!

Why does it take so long for my post to show on the Forum? 

I what to know if the Dore center in Chicago will be staying open.

My concern is my daughters last part is the eye tracking, but if Dore are successful in offering people treatment, will this equipment be available & with all the staff being laid off, who will carry out the testing, just cant see it happening, its a real shame as i myself would have liked to have done the course.

My daughter Kirbi, wants to say a big thanks to all the staff at Kenilworth who helped her Dave Shaw (she said she'll get you golf tickets when shes a pro lol), Donna, Antony (the irish fella as she called him) the blonde scottish lady (sorry forgot your name) & all the others.  Hope you all find new jobs soon Gary

I want to say THANK YOU to all the staff at Romsey for their dedication to the Dore cause and to my daughter Leila and Kieran. Chris for using Leila as a case study (leila was coming the next time to see you), Rachel as manager and how lovely it was to see you even if it was all so brief. Paul who seemed to have been there for ever and Lloyd who we were only just getting to know but was so much part of the Dore Family. Not fogetting all the others who woked tirelessly to help our children. Finally to Wynford and his family who made it all possiable "WE SALUTE YOU". Ellie XXX
