Headline: PUPILS BEAT DYSLEXIA WITH EXERCISE REGIME
Description: Routine that Headmaster Found on Internet Sparks Global Interest by Nick Britten The Daily Telegraph, 21 May 2004

Schoolchildren suffering from dyslexia have seen dramatic improvements in their development thanks to a physical exercise programme designed to stimulate the brain.

Forty pupils who were diagnosed with learning difficulties associated with dyslexia took part in the two-year experiment, which involved twice-daily exercise routines.

At the end of the study they were found to be free of dyslexic symptoms, no longer needed extra help in class and could join mainstream lessons.

Twenty-five schools around the country are now implementing the system following the success at Balsall Common Primary School, West Midlands, in helping 13,000 adults and children. Head teachers at schools in Australia, South Africa and America have asked if they can visit to learn about the programme.

Trevor Davies, Balsall’s headmaster, said the results were amazing. He heard about the programme when the parents of one dyslexic pupil, called Simon, approached him for help.

“Simon had been diagnosed by educational psychologists as having acute dyslexia and was having serious problems trying to cope at school,� said Mr. Davies.

“His parents had tried various traditional treatments, both in school and with support agencies, but the lack of any real improvement saw them reach the end of their tether and they turned to me for help.� Having researched possible treatments, he referred them to the Dore Achievement Centre in Kenilworth, Warwicks, which had been carrying out work into dyslexia using an exercise programme called DDAT – Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Attention Disorder Treatment.
