Drug-Free Treatment Centre For Dyslexia, ADD & ADHD To Open In Wellington

The revolutionary drug-free programme, that has successfully treated 19, 000 people around the world suffering from various learning difficulties, is to open in Wellington.

Wynford Dore, founder of the Dore Achievement Centre says it’s come about because of requests from families who want their children to go on the programme but can’t get to Auckland to do it.

Over 50% of calls about the programme come from outside of Auckland.

“There are some amazing stories of commitment happening in NZ, one family took the train from Palmerston North to Wellington, shuttle from the station to the airport, a flight to Auckland, stayed overnight in a motel and then returned the same way – every 6 weeks for 14 months, another family lives on an island in the Marlborough Sounds, so they sail to Picton, drive to Blenheim, fly to Wellington then Auckland - it takes them 3 days to do the round trip”, said Wynford Dore.

“We want to make it easier for everyone to access treatment and bringing the Centres to the clients is the best way of doing it”.

Dore Achievement Centre NZ Manager, David Conroy is currently looking for a site in Wellington and hopes to open by August.

A South Island centre will open in Christchurch around September.

Dore is also looking to recruit 6 new clinicians for the treatment programme as well – job descriptions are on the Dore website at www.dore.co.nz.

The Dore Achievement Centre has a sophisticated assessment programme that determines what learning difficulty people have, and often clients have more than one. An individualised programme is then designed specifically to enhance and train the areas of their cerebellum that are underdeveloped.

The cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible
for integrating sensory information such
as co-ordination, fine motor skills, attention
and learning new skills such as reading.

Wynford Dore has recently written a book
about it, ‘Opening the Dore on ADD/ADHD, The
Miracle Cure’ tells about the science behind
the programme, its success and his personal
motivation - his daughter suffered from severe
dyslexia and ADHD which culminated in 3 suicide attempts.

People who want an initial assessment which will indicate the likelihood of a learning difficulty can do a free test online. Children can answer the questions themselves or a parent can take the test for them.
