Why choose Dore?
Since 1999, the Dore Program has been tested in many ways: by Dore itself; on many thousands of its pupils; by independent education authorities; and by independent academic researchers.
It seems that whichever way you look at the Program, it shows significant advantages over most other types of intervention to which it is compared.
For instance, in 2002-2003, professors conducting a research program into reading progress described their findings as ‘unprecedented’ when dyslexic pupils on the Dore Program outperformed their normal learning peer group.
In another education study, ‘statemented’ groups (those most severely affected) showed remarkable improvement, allowing them to catch up with their normal peer group for the very first time.
Of course, Dore would never advocate its therapy to be used as an alternative to good teaching practices - both complement each other and go hand-in-hand in aiding recovery from poor literacy skills. However, we do see our Program as a very powerful way of improving a person’s response to any number of different teaching methods being used.
We see the Dore Program as ‘mending the hole in the bucket’ to stop the information inside being lost. But, you still need someone to fill your bucket with information. That’s why we highly commend the efforts of educators, who work hard to help children and adults with learning difficulties. The Dore Program supports teachers by giving those who struggle with learning difficulties the ability to learn and develop skills. This means they are able to absorb and take in more information and respond well to good teaching. So, instead of the information and skills being lost, the brain retains them just like a bucket with a mended hole, keeping in the water.
During the essential processes of learning in general, and reading in particular, the Dore Program will make life a whole lot easier for the child, parent, and teacher or, in the case of an adult, for himself or herself and his or her family.
Whether you are a parent, an educator, or someone struggling with learning skills, we strongly recommend that you contact Dore as soon as possible to see how we can make a difference.
