13.  Does your child show signs of developmental issues in coordination, like tripping?  Does your child have trouble reading?

Certain movement therapies are available to address these issues.  Through the treatment of these conditions, symptoms of ADD, ADHD, dyslexia and autism can be decreased (sometimes substantially).

Dore Achievement Centers, after a thorough evaluation of your child, can instruct you and your child on a series of physical movements.  Their organization has medical doctors on staff working with you.  They are conducting research to learn whether proper circulation to the cerebellum, a part of the brain, can significantly help children with dyslexia, ADD, ADHD and/or coordination issues.   Accomplishments in reading ability and coordination can help a child feel good about him/herself.

60 Minutes II did a documentary on Dore Achievement Centers.  You can watch the program by going to 60 Minutes’ website and typing “Dore Centers” into the search box.

Brain Gym is also an avenue to explore for children with coordination or reading issues.  Brain Gym is more readily available to those for whom cost is a greater consideration.
