Quinnell’s Last Test
A documentary shown on BBC 2 in February about welsh rugby legend Scott Quinnell undertaking the Dore program is on Google Video. Quinnell’s Last Test follows him and his children through a year of treatment for dyslexia. Scott is severally dyslexic and his two children are both struggling with their school work.
Anyone thinking of doing the Dore Program should watch this 30 minute video. It shows exactly how the program works and highlights the effort and drive needed to do the exercises every day for a year. In one part, Scott talking is to Kenny Logan, himself a veteran of the Dore treatment and an international rugby player. They compare notes on their exercises and Kenny reveals the lengths he went to so he could hide his treatment from the his fellow players because he was afraid of ridicule.
Quinnell completes the treatment program and is moved to tears when talking about the program and the benefit it has had on his life.
