Re: May have to resign my job due to my childrens learning disabilities

May be of interest : www.dore.co.uk

A friend of mine was taking his son regularly to UK for this somewhat controversial approach - he believes it has helped a lot.

I believe their approach is to train the mind in a general sense to deal better with non-focus stimuli (ie what we all do naturally without thinking) so that it can deal with focussed stuff (ie reading etc) more easily. Something like that anyway...seems to involve lots of physical exercises like juggling whilst standing on one leg etc. I don't mean to make it sound frivolous - it's about my limit of knowledge on the subject.

What I would suggest though with respect is that being a teacher (of normal academic stuff for normal academic kids) may not be the appropriate skills for dealing with attention deficit, dyslexia etc.

Wish you luck.
