|  | | | Dore was a controversial program designed to treat children with ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, Dyslexia and other learning and behavioural difficulties.
The program was founded by Wynford Dore, a businessman from Wales, and cost desperate parents at their wits' end $5000 to sign their child up to the program.
There were reports of many success stories, but also of children who did not respond to the program.
In 2008 the company folded without explanation, apparently being millions of dollars in debt. Not only did they leave 3,000 families out of pocket and without treatment for their children, but they continued to sign up new families until the day they closed. The staff were not told of the impending closure, and were not paid for the last month of their employment.
Some families handed over their $5k only days before Dore closed. Despite this, the program has since begun operating in NZ.
When I explored the clinic, there were childrens' medical files left strewn around, as well as toys, promotional DVDs and books, and photos of the children.
Not long after I took these photos, a friend of mine wrote a newspaper article revealing how the childrens' medical files had been left lying there for the three years that the clinic had been closed for... the Health Commissioner went there and removed all the files.
