Wind Down

We are now on wind-down, and I must say its nice just having 1 exercise to do in a session. Harry and I both feel ready to finish - its been a long slog, but sooo worth it.

We took Harry to his Scout swimming gala on Saturday night, and it was wonderful to see him standing with his friends, working out the race rules together (Harry being the main speaker, I hasten to add).  Previously, it would be usual to see Harry wondering about on his own, being left out of everything.

With school, he is getting there, but it is a slow process. The main gains I can see is definitely with his confidence and speech. He now has lots of groups of friends and is a cheerful, happy boy. What a transformation!

If you're reading this and thinking about doing the Dore programme - I say, go for it!

With Harry, the process was slow and steady, but if you can stick with the exercises and do them every day, the improvements will be well worth it.

I have every confidence that Harry will continue to reap the rewards for doing the Dore Programme.

Thanks Wynford for not walking away!
