After one year on the program Paige reached the level where she was given 'mental tasks'......the latter phase of the program designed to occupy the thinking brain while doing exercises to allow the cerebellum to fully do its job alone. We had done 'mentals' for about 4 days when she fell off a fast moving horse, breaking her elbow. She is now in a cast for approximately 5 weeks and cannot do the Dore exercises until the cast is removed. I am concerned about regression and have been told that kids do tend to regress some when they have to take a break in the exercises but they also tend to catch up quickly when exercises are resumed. Until then, I guess there is not much else to do but enjoy the break!
Paige has continued to improve with school work and social relationships.
