Dore Collapse

Following the Dore collapse in Australia, Dore UK have announced that Dore UK are also in adminsatration. These are truly sad events in the world of SEN, now once again motion based therapy is to be put on the back burner, hopefully not for another 30yrs . It was 30yrs ago that the initial pioneer Jean Ayres came out with these sort of exercises and Dore made these quantifiable and user friendly.
Luckily for us Matthew has possibly progressed as much as he is likely to, although I would have like to have seen him signed off properly, but it makes me extremely sad that all our Dore friends at different stages of the programme are left hanging. The future of our special children are once again left in the hands of the educationalist, pushing them to do things that they are not yet capable of doing, seeing them as naughty, lazy or stupid when in fact all they need is a few simple exercises twice a day that can bring them on.
