For years, the common treatment methods for people with learning disabilities like Asperger syndrome, dyspraxia, and ADHD involved drug therapy. Today, individuals suffering from these problems can undertake the Dore Program, a drug-free alternative that works by stimulating a person’s cerebellum, resulting in better brain functionality and efficiency. Established within the last decade, the Dore Program utilizes recent scientific studies that show the cerebellum as an important part of the brain in developing skills and paying attention.

Scientists at the Dore Program found that by targeting the cerebellum in their treatment methods, they were able to increase the use of that brain area, training it to become more efficient, and thus, more effective. Researchers at the Dore Program found that in people without a properly working cerebellum, the cerebrum, or thinking portion of the brain, has to work that much harder to learn and undertake everyday tasks. Participation in the Dore Program begins with a visit to one of two U.S.-based Dore Centers.

Patients meet with a Dore Consultant and clinicians to discuss how their learning disorder affects their daily life and the areas they feel least competent, such as reading, writing, or coordination. The patient will complete three assessment tests to determine things like balance and literacy skills before Dore Program staff members evaluate their performance and create a personalized exercise program for them at home. Dore Program patients may participate in treatment for up to a year or longer, depending on how well they respond to the exercises, which they perform twice a day for 10 minutes.

Depending on each participant’s conditions and abilities, Dore Program exercises may involve bouncing on an exercise ball while tossing a beanbag from hand to hand, standing on one foot while concentrating on a certain point, or balancing for several minutes on a wobble board.
