Fwd: Has anyone tried DORE therapy? INTERESTING LINKS - FYI

[Guest guest]

I haven't used DORE, but it is my understanding (fromcomments on the internet-one from an ADD forum) thatDORE was modelled after Dr. Belgau's LearningBreakthrough program. http://www.balametrics.com/http://www.learningbreakthrough.comI have a friend with a learning center who uses theLearning Breakthrough program and thinks highly of it.Is isn't a "miracle cure" but it does help lots ofissues, such as visual tracking, bilateralintegration, etc. Dr. Belgau, a behaviouraloptometrist, put the program together, and it can beused by parents or administered in clinics. Ofcourse, it's a lot cheaper if you buy the programyourself and do it at home. The Balametrics program (learning breakthrough) wasthe basis for SOI's school program; Bridges Learning. However, the Bridges program is an "abridged" version(not Dr. Belgau's idea)with a few "extras", and thefeedback I've read on Bridges is that it isn't aseffective as Balametrics. I don't know how DOREcompares to either.BTW, this is not an endorsement or advertisement. I've just spent the last number of years researchingthis kind of stuff, and comparing results.

Hi ,

I haven't used DORE, but it is my understanding (from

comments on the internet-one from an ADD forum) that

DORE was modelled after Dr. Belgau's Learning

Breakthrough program.

http://www.learningbreakthrough.com

I have a friend with a learning center who uses the

Learning Breakthrough program and thinks highly of it.

Is isn't a " miracle cure " but it does help lots of

issues, such as visual tracking, bilateral

integration, etc. Dr. Belgau, a behavioural

optometrist, put the program together, and it can be

used by parents or administered in clinics. Of

course, it's a lot cheaper if you buy the program

yourself and do it at home.

The Balametrics program (learning breakthrough) was

the basis for SOI's school program; Bridges Learning.

However, the Bridges program is an " abridged " version

(not Dr. Belgau's idea)with a few " extras " , and the

feedback I've read on Bridges is that it isn't as

effective as Balametrics. I don't know how DORE

compares to either.

BTW, this is not an endorsement or advertisement.

I've just spent the last number of years researching

this kind of stuff, and comparing results.
