Matthew's organisation skills are improving in every day life. We had a family meeting on the weekend where we laid out a few more things that are expected of him. He is now expected to make his own bed and tidy his room before he dresses to come down from breakfast. When he comes home he has to change out of his uniform (he was supposed to do this, but this wasn't happening) before playing started. We have had good successes so far, he iseven deciding to his Dore exercises as soon as he comes home before playing "to get them out of the way", -after school tiredness subsided a few months back.
Last night he even helped with making food(he likes to help htese days). Laying the table, carrying the food over, tidying up behind me, frying-pan in the dishwasher, excess food back in the fridge, he wasn't told what to do once, I felt very organised.

There is no scientific basis for Dore's claims: NASA have denied any knowledge of Dore, and there are big questions around the 'independent' professional testing.
Any benefits would be achievable by any structured physical skills training programme, pursued with enthusiasm and encouragement. see
Professor Beve Hornsby was one of the great pioneers of the Dyslexia movement. Among her books are Overcoming Dyslexia, and (with Frula Shear) Alpha to Omega (Heinemann), which has become a standard work for teaching dyslexic students. Founder of the Hornsby International Dyslexia Centre in London, Beve Hornsby was an inspiration to all who are involved in the teaching of literacy, whatever the ability or difficulties of the students. I don't think Beve was very good at cricket either.
Mathew is certainly making progress with Dore and isn't he getting organised with making his own bed and putting things away, I wish my three were as organised!!!. Go for it Mathew and Dore. Ellie XXX
