Everyday is a battle to do the exercises, we have made no improvement, in fact my daughter fell off the wobble bosrd last time ! Has this been a waste of time and money? If the Dore program was having financial problems, why did they take my £2000 8 months ago? Do we get a refund? I haven't told my daughter that the centre is closed as she would definitely not do the exercises. I am determined to carry on I am just hoping for a miracle, or have I been completely conned?

My daughter has almost completed the program and has shown great improvement on a variety of measurable tasks and her school results has shown great improvement in the last year. It's like anything in life, one shoe doesn't fit everyone and we should maybe look at the winners and not concentrate all are efforts on the losers. One day in the future this program may be santioned by a goverment body, but only if it provides a large income stream !!! this only reflects the money oriented society that we all sadly live in.

My son has been on the dore project for just under a year and through his pure determination and hard work has just started to achieve the goals that were set out for him at the start of the course. i for one hope that the problems that the dore project are experiencing at the moment are short lived and that with their help my son can continue to improve and reach his full potential.

Im somewhere between upset and angry at the moment. My son has been on the DORE programme for the last 9 months and we've been through all the ups and downs, the tantrums of not wanting to do his exercises, the tears of 'just wanting to be normal' and I feel I've been on the roller coaster with him. I remember the feeling of complete relief when I first spoke to an adviser at one of the centres; they knew exactly what I was talking about - at last someone understood! and now what? I feel that we as a family have been completely let down. Kathy - I know exactly what your feeling right now. Im somewhere between upset and angry at the moment.

My son has been on the program for 20 months and we have invested sooo much time into it. We have done our exercises faithfully and we have made great gains or should I say green bars at last. I feel for my son right now because these exercises have been frustrating and difficult yet he never NEVER gave up. I feel like I have failed him in some way, we were really making gains. I know we were on the program for a long time but we were not giving up. He is eight and worked so hard at this program to think we will not finish when we were just about there. Will all this hard work have been for nothing, I don't know what to think right now. My only thoughts are for my son and how HARD he has worked and for what? I have read so many things today about DORE things I don't want to believe. Do I continue tonight with the exercises? What do I tell my son? All I can say is that I am in shock right now.
