Cerebellar Developmental Delay (CDD)
Research suggests that a wide range of problems, from poor reading to poor sporting performance, right through to dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD, have the same root cause: delay in the development of the cerebellum, the brain’s skills centre.
Cerebellar Developmental Delay (CDD) occurs when the neural pathways linking the cerebrum or “thinking brain” and the cerebellum aren’t fully developed. When this happens, the cerebellum can’t process information quickly and the development of language and decoding skills necessary for reading and writing is impaired.
The Dore Program’s specially-tailored exercises address cerebral developmental delay (CDD) by stimulating the cerebellum. Making the cerebellum function better helps remedy the symptoms of learning difficulties – and can help all kinds of people become better learners.

Why can’t the Dore program be used for whole classes in schools?
The Dore program isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to learning difficulties. Rather, it’s a bespoke program of exercises tailored for each individual on the basis of bespoke neurological tests, and adjusted according to that person’s progress. Therefore, it isn’t suitable for a whole class approach.
