Step-by-step guide
The Dore Program generally lasts 9 - 18 months and involves 10 minutes of special exercises, performed twice a day at your home. For some, it’s a bit longer, and for others it can last as little as 6 months. That’s because everyone is different, but, in every instance, we ensure the pace is right for you, by monitoring your progress and offering advice every step of the way.

Let’s begin – initial assessment
It begins with an initial assessment at our Dore Center, which will last about 2-3 hours. First, you’ll see one of the friendly Dore Coaches who will take you through some simple, but important exercises. You’ll then see a Dore Consultant, who’ll explain your test results, tell you how the Program works, and answer any questions you might have. Before you leave, one of our Dore Coaches will give you a Dore kit bag, introduce you to the exercises, and show you how myDore works, your internet based guidance and coaching system that you will be able to access from home.
Your kit bag will contain the following:
- Wobble board - to help stimulate and improve balance
- Bean bags - for eye-tracking and help with co-ordination
- Gym ball - moving support for some of your exercises
- Eye chart - gives you different things to focus on
With you all the way
Using this equipment, you must follow our precise exercise Program at home, twice a day, for 10 minutes each session. Although we’re with you every step of the way, Dore expects you to motivate yourself and drive your own success.
At your first follow-up appointment, you’ll be re-assessed to check your progress. This will continue throughout your program.
We are the Champions
You will continue with periodic follow up appointments, and most participants will have noticed significant improvement in their abilities, from reading and writing to concentration, coordination, and social skills. Not to mention confidence!
