Simple Exercise Plan for Dyslexics
Over on TheMedicalCentre.co.uk they have a short article on exercises for dyslexia. These are simple balance and co-ordination activities similar to those used by DDAT. Obviously a very basic plan and nowhere near as comprehensive or personalised as you get from a commercial programme but a good starting point if you can’t afford or get to a DDAT clinic.
The web site has a range of articles covering information an advice on dyscalculia, dyslexia and ADHD covering such topics as nutrition, drug therapies, home education and life skills.

Comments on: Simple Exercise Plan for Dyslexics
I have been trying to find the simple exercises for dyslexia, mentioned in the article on the Medical centre, but have had no luck getting onto the site. Any suggestions. I just want to try them with my daughter withoout the cost of a personalised assessment.
Thanks

It looks like the site has shutdown and presumably the centre as well.

On the home page of your site you state that “Five years on, I’m no longer dyslexic.” Do you mean that it took 5 years of doing Dore exercises before you were cured or that you are still cured 5 years after having completed the program?
How long did it take for you to start seeing appreciable results? How long did the cure take exactly?
Thanks!

Ahh! I just found your biography here: http://tregenza.typepad.com/about.html.
Could you describe what kind of results you saw at the 3 month mark or point me to somewhere where you discuss this in greater length?
(Incidentally, I am doing Learning Breakthrough Program and wanted something similar to compare to)
Thanks,
Sean
