Measuring success
From the start of the Program to the end, we measure your progress along the way, so we can make sure the Program is a success for you.
Initial assessment day; your starting point!
Assessment 1 – is all about balance
We’ll ask you to stand on a wobbly platform designed to check your balance. Then, it only takes a few minutes to check just how wobbly you are.
Assessment 2 – is all about how your eyes track moving objects
We have a special machine with lights that move left and right. We ask you to watch them while we monitor you. The hardest part is keeping your head still and letting your eyes do the work.
Assessment 3 – is a bit more traditional
It helps us assess how you manage reading and writing.
Our ACE test
ACE is our special, on-line test that measures things like your reaction time, how you process sounds, recognize words and other stuff like that. It’s a clever piece of technology...but the smartest thing about it is that it’s really fun to complete.
myProgress questionnaire
myDore will automatically ask you some questions every 4 weeks. These relate back to some questions we ask you at the start of the Program. They’re just another way of checking how you’re getting along.
There are some things only you can measure
If you’ve been struggling with reading and writing, balance and coordination, or simply feeling overloaded with information day-to-day; you’ll probably see some changes yourself.
For some people the results are very fast and very obvious, so you might find that, over a few weeks, things just become so much easier that you and your family and friends are wowed.
But for others, progress is more gradual, which means you’ve got to keep an eye out for signs of improvement. It may be that you do things you didn’t do before, do things a bit differently, or feel a bit differently about certain tasks. Note anything like this in your myDore diary, as it will help you chart your progress as you go.
Don’t forget – we’re all different, so, whether your progress is slow or fast, don't worry. You will see improvements at your own pace. But by the time you complete the course as a Dore Champion, the chances are the overall transformation will be nothing short of life-changing.
Client Story: James Drew
Simpson Academy is one of the first schools in central Mississippi to offer the innovative drug-free Dore program to its students. Dore, developed in England, uses daily exercises to stimulate the cerebellum—the brain's skill development center. It is designed to treat people with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, dyspraxia, Asperger's syndrome and other learning disabilities. But others, including amateur and professional athletes, also have benefitted from improvements in agility, balance and control.
