Dyslexia and ADHD: The Miracle Cure Paperback – October 1, 2008

See all formats and editions

One man's quest to help his daughter led to the start of a whole new way of treating learning and attention difficulties, and this is their astounding story. When she was only nine years old, Susie Dore was diagnosed as dyslexic and told that nothing could be done to help her. Her increasing depression eventually led to three suicide attempts. Wynford set about finding a way to help her, selling his multi-million dollar business and pouring his fortune into researching dyslexia and learning difficulties. His team of researchers showed that, almost invariably, these problems are caused by an incomplete physiological development and that an answer to them might be found in a specialized exercise program. This revolutionary book captures the findings that Dore proponents believe will change the way dyslexia and ADHD are approached forever. It explains the theory behind the ideas and, through a series of case studies, demonstrates the success stories and how these ideas have changed the lives of so many for good. It is invaluable reading for anyone involved with or affected by dyslexia or any other learning difficulty.

What a breakthrough.....

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2008

My husband and I just finished reading this book over the weekend while taking a long driving trip. We both became believers and are actively looking into the program for our daughter who has Dyslexia. The story is heartwarming and the theory behind his research is nothing short of astounding. Why hasn't anyone come across this unique solution before and why isn't America helping him with his research and program. We should not let the almighty dollar stand in the way of helping our children who truly need us and who need this program. There is no price to be put on a child's value of life or on the love of parent who will do everything they can for their child. God Bless you Wynford Dore!

An Excellent Resource for Learning Difficulties

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2010

The Dore Program helps individuals with learning difficulties like ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Asperger's, and this book gives the history and science behind the program in an easy-to-understand way. His journey with Susie is a remarkable, up-lifting success story, and Wynford explains his vision for seeing the program help individuals around the world who have not been able to address their difficulties.

The Dore Program now has offices in the US, which can be seen at [...]

The program, itself, is not a quick fix, but it truly makes a live-long difference if you stick with it. I hope others will find this book (and the Dore Program) as interesting and exciting as I have!

I had thought there would be demonstrations of the exercises in the book instead there is just a lot of background info but no real substance.

good read for helping others to become sensitzed to the issue.

I must admit after awhile I read ahead. The auther tells his story of how for the love of his dyslexic daughter, he wanted to help her. It did not turn out the way he hoped, and this made him more resolute. At times it was difficult to read because he was very good at describing how much work his daughter and others need to apply to learning. I was dissapointed that I needed to spend $400.00 to find out if his cure could help me. I would certainly, and have, told others what is written here. Partly to spread hope and to learn if it has any efficacy at all. It seems plausiblle and yet one can only know for sure if they try it themselves.

I have dyslexia, now I know what's going on in my brain and have more ideas how to fix it and cope. Just knowing more helps.

I have dyslexia and know several people with ADHD, mild autism, aspergers. I am telling them about the book. I like the perspective of the book as it comes from a parents pursuit of a cure for his own daughter. Love is a better motivator for a cure than money. This is an important book and I look forward to the day the doctors and the schools catch on to this man's findings.

Older Book, Worthwhile for Persons With ADD Syndrome

Great seller! The book reads like a sales pamphlet, overselling everything with a flood of anecdotes, but the materials are convincing and eye-opening. Can these painful learning disabilities really be miraculously cured through repetitive body motions? It seems worth a try.

The book describes the method of treatment but no actual exercises for my child to do. The program has been closed so I can not get more information about Wynford Dore Program. It no longer exists!

I read this book really to learn more about Wynford Dore and his journey to establish the Dore Foundation and programmes for learning difficulties. I have no personal experience of dyslexia or other similarly grouped conditions, nor am I any sort of expert.
This book is about a father trying to help his daughter to find her way into a world which was previously incomprehensible and hostile. He used the wealth gained from his business successes to fund the years of research and testing that would eventually result in a methodology that would serve children and adults, tailor made to each person's individual needs.
He doesn't claim to have invented anything, but he was motivated to bring many existing resources together to contribute to a holistic (and drug-free) outcome.
I found the book moving and uplifting. I would like to do the program myself, since I believe that it would enhance and sharpen my own performance levels - and I have no problems as such.
For anyone looking for a miracle cure for dyslexia this title was used by the media for a TV documentary presenting the programme some years ago. You may want to follow up on the website: [...] (follow links for other countries)
