We were booked to start the dore program with our son(dyslexia), but they have gone bust. We believe the dore approach is a good one and are looking for feed back on the LBT system.

It had great effect, started a plateau, and we moved to the next level. What is that? I connected up with Dr. Charles Parker (CorePsychBlog.com) and ended up working with him on my son. Dr. Parker recommended genetic testing for gluten and casein sensitivity (affirmative on my son) and we changed diet, started a new ADHD med called "Vyvanse", and my guy is doing very well in school and much of his ADHD symptoms are mitigated. I should probably post... @Duck: Haven’t updated since we basically stopped using Learning Breakthrough. It had great effect, started a plateau, and we moved to the next level.

I have only been able to find an update at two months - anything more recent that I have missed? Thanks, Duck. So – a year later, how are you getting on with this?

We are also considering the Dore system for our 12yr old son (dyslexia & ADHD). But I have been hesitant for the same reasons you mentioned - fuzzy baseline testing doccumentation and $5000 price tag. I had not heard of the LB program until now, and I had to wade through a couple of hundred web postings before I found your blog. How has the LB treatment worked for you (assuming you have continued) and for your son (assuming you were able to continue to motivate him)? This is most interresting.

I aplaud your efforts in finding ways to help your son. In my reading and research, I also have found the gluten connection, as well as the 2nd biggest offender, dairy, to be common problems. Even to the effects of effecting neurological neurotrasmitter levels (such as dopamine production, very common to have lower levels with ADHD.) It will be intersting to read how your son does with the gluten-free diet. It is very difficult, I know, especially for a teen that is probably out of your site for the largest part of the day. It is something I would also like to persue with my 14-year-old son, but don't have the family support as you do, as he had identified wheat and dairy allergies in his very early life, so I could assume there might always be a tendency there to some reaction, though very hidden from the naked eye. I'm so happy for your son that he has so much support around him. You are doing a great job, Steve! :-) Hi Steve! I aplaud your efforts in finding ways to help your son.

Hello Redwaan, Yes, Learning Breakthrough (LB) works and is certainly equal to Dore in its effectiveness (in my opinion). However, it requires the 12-15 months of effort and we're not even six months into this term and it has become difficult to motivate our son. ADHD is such a complicated syndrome and has many causes. I'm sure like you, we've tried SO many different things and we finally have our son walking with us every day outside and he's started jogging a little bit too. We also have been following CorePsychBlog.com and Dr. Charles Parker who is a thought leader in ADHD (disclosure: I've helped him on his blog and he's now treating our son from a distance). He encouraged us to have a test done to see if our son was gluten intolerant. Dr. Parker believes that often ADHD sufferers are actually poisoning themselves with food that they're actually allergic to. It turns out that my son has a gene that predisposes him to gluten and we've removed it from his diet (we're just starting the third week). He's improving, but the tough part is knowing is it the medication he's taking? Is it LB? Is it the exercise? Is it removing wheat from his diet? Is it the fact that he's now 5'10" and 175lbs and is maturing physically quickly at 13 years old? Maybe it's one....maybe all of them....but we're making progress and will never stop. Good luck to you. Hope this helps. -- Steve Borsch “Please help me, i need to know if thias really works as i have a wonderful 7 year old son who has been diagnosed ADHD(inattentive)and the dore program costs R22000 in South africa and this is way beyond my affordablity.”

Hello Redwaan,

Yes, Learning Breakthrough (LB) works and is certainly equal to Dore in its effectiveness (in my opinion). However, it requires the 12-15 months of effort and we’re not even six months into this term and it has become difficult to motivate our son.

ADHD is such a complicated syndrome and has many causes. I’m sure like you, we’ve tried SO many different things and we finally have our son walking with us every day outside and he’s started jogging a little bit too.

We also have been following CorePsychBlog.com and Dr. Charles Parker who is a thought leader in ADHD (disclosure: I’ve helped him on his blog and he’s now treating our son from a distance). He encouraged us to have a test done to see if our son was gluten intolerant.

It turns out that my son has a gene that predisposes him to gluten and we’ve removed it from his diet (we’re just starting the third week).

He’s improving, but the tough part is knowing is it the medication he’s taking? Is it LB? Is it the exercise? Is it removing wheat from his diet? Is it the fact that he’s now 5’10″ and 175lbs and is maturing physically quickly at 13 years old? Maybe it’s one….maybe all of them….but we’re making progress and will never stop.

Good luck to you. Hope this helps.

I have been obsessing over Play Attention, and decided to explore some other options, particularly because I'm not able to afford to spend the almost $2000 right now. I saw the LB system and thought, is it possible this could work? I've been doing research and hearing good things, but isn't that always the case on the internet? REAL users, that's what I need, because I can't have my darling daughter dealing with a thousand different "cures" to her difficulties. Please! Post again soon!
