Cerebellar Developmental Delay

Cerebellar Developmental Delay (CDD) is a term coined by scientists at DDAT / Dore (Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Attention Treatment initiated by Wynford Dore) centres (and thus should not be confused with a generally accepted medical condition).

Dores claims to have helped over 19,0000 people around the world. Many minor celebrities and ex sports stars support Dore.

The brain can be divided by function into two distinct areas; the cerebrum, which receives and processes stimuli from the sensory organs, and the cerebellum, which is responsible for coordinating the motor responses to these stimuli. According to the Dore theory, in individuals with CDD the neural pathways connecting these two areas of the brain do not develop fully. As this affects the brain’s ability to initiate an appropriate response to sensory input, affected individuals may suffer from learning difficulties.
