Описание книги

This is the astounding story of how one man's quest to help his daughter led to the start of a whole new way of treating learning and attention difficulties. When she was only nine years old, Susie Dore was diagnosed as dyslexic and told that nothing could be done to help her. Her increasing depression eventually led to three suicide attempts. Wynford decided that enough was enough and set about finding a way to help her. Wynford sold his multi-million pound business and ploughed his fortune into research into dyslexia and learning difficulties. His team of researchers showed that, almost invariably, these problems are caused by an incomplete physiological development and that an answer to them might be found in a specialised exercise programme. This revolutionary book will change the way dyslexia and ADHD are approached forever. It explains the theory behind the ideas and, through a series of case studies, demonstrates the success stories and how these ideas have changed the lives of so many for good. It is invaluable reading for anyone involved with or affected by dyslexia or any other learning difficulty. Prepare to have your preconceptions shattered and be amazed…

Chapter 1: Susie’s Story – My Daughter with Dyslexia and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

.....

Of course, with the benefit of hindsight, it is all so painfully obvious. We now know that what causes learning difficulties can have a detrimental effect on so many characteristics. For instance, nearly 90 per cent of folk who attempt to commit suicide show signs typical of learning or attention issues and as many as 75 per cent of people who have long-term drug addictions have signs of similar issues too.

For Susie, her decline and attempt to take her own life had been years in the making. Every attempt to learn, to develop friendships or to hold down a job had resulted in failure. It did not matter how much her family had tried to help her, life would never cease to be a struggle.
