I have been reading as much as I can about the cerebellum connection. I came across a research meta-study article regarding the movement-based treatments with dyslexia. It seemed that the information the researchers pulled together, they could not isolate dyslexics with testable balance deficits because other factors such as IQ, ADHD, other LD's or difficulties played a part. Therefore, they concluded the therapy may not work. The problem I saw after really thinking about what this article said, was that they were trying, as so many therapists, researches and scientists do, is to attempt to pull apart and isolate these LDs, where in most cases there is at least one tag-along, sometimes more. So, in this persons effort to debunk the whole CDD/therapy idea, it just made a stronger argument FOR CDD and Dore therapy, because balance deficits cannot be singled out to a single unique LD in an individual. You treat one, you treat them all, because that is the root of the cause, it just manifests in different individuals in different ways.

Maybe someday, then it can be discovered how the cerebellum comes to be this way in some individuals in the first place.
