Thirteen UK centres offering controversial treatment for people with dyslexia have been shut down due to financial difficulties. Originally set up by millionaire Wynford Dore the centres were not cheap – £1500 for a 12 month programme.
Dyslexia is a condition which affects the ability to process language and in some cases also mathematics.
Many people see a link between dyslexia and discalculia although there has been little research on the latter.
