Hi Hailey,

 

I haven't heard about this over here, but then again I suspect that's just me.

 

 

I also had never heard of the astronauts 'space dyslexia'.

 

Interesting stuff though.

In the UK this is called DDAT

I am dubious about the science and the methodology but haven't researched it particularly well

thank you hallyscomet,

 

 

an interesting article and video, thank you also Zemanski I too I am a little dubious about the science and possibly methodology like yourself haven't researched it as such, which itself may make an interesting task for me to undertake.

 

thank you.

I went to a briefing on DDAT (also Dore) at an education conference a couple years ago. It seemed interesting and logical, a bit brain gym sort of. Working on the cerebellum and balance thru specific excersize regime. I was put off by the cost of it TBH. Toyah swears by it, but I can't say either way as I haven't tried it myself. I'm a bit dubious of anything that calls itself a 'cure'..

Hmm - not sure about DDAT. A friend's child was treated at Dore, and whilst he had some benefits, it's not made a radical difference. If he had the same amount of attention and care from an EP, or other specialist, I wonder if he wouldn't have had the same amount of benefit - and of course, the whole thing cost his parents thousands (I'm not kidding).

 

I've also been at the receiving end of the hard sell from DDAT - I don't like or trust anyone who uses these techniques. Of course when I asked for hard, scientific, peer-tested evidence of effectiveness, they couldn't provide it - and frankly, anyone can come up with anecdotal evidence (and boy, did they have a lot of that).

 

Sorry to sound the skeptic again.
