I would like to check out Dore, but as there is no Dore center where I live, I willhave to try to do what I can do on my own.

First, what should I read and watch? - Most stuff seem to be written for parents considering it for their children.

Is it some easy easy tests to see if Dore could be particularly beneficial to me?

How far do you think I can go on my own? I already do yoga, and it is easy to put in 10 min daily of balancing sequences (Including inversed position which I guess are not in the Dore program :-)

Also it should be possible to do something on my own with this board?

Are there similar approaches I can use? I know balancing exersises is becoming common for eldrly people, so perhaps I could find some kind of physical centre where I could do their exersises?

Thanks, Obrigado, Merci

Mrs. Smith,
Look at the Dore website. There is an on-line test you can take that would be helpful. You may also want to look at Learningbreakthrough.com as it is an approach that you do on your own.

The one I found at co.uk were more waste-of-time than useful.

There are stuff like beeing ambidextrous (?)/left- handed that should point to or from underlying neurological conditions?

Mrsmith....I am not sure what you are asking here but if the website was not helpful I would suggest going to the thread "Positive experiences with the Dore Program" (on this forum) and query people there. Most are mums of kids but all know of some adults who have done the program.

I think this is the test that Amypaige means

As for ambidextrous my son has been described as this by the OT (more no dominant side IMHO), he has an underlying cause of Sensory Integration Disoder for his problems (dx by OT), which is very much tied up to vestibular/somatosensory/visual processing difficulties.

£10-20, even when though it is "spnsored by Dore", anybody here tried it?

From time to time they post a free code in the paper I'll keep an eye out for you.
