The website doesn't give much away ... the advertise on cable TV here which, due to my unreasonable prejudice about the stuff, made me think it was just exercise in separating people from cash.
Anyone know anything about it and whether it works? I wasn't aware of treatments for dyslexia when I grew up.

Some parts may help in improving corordination. As for the rest I doubt it.

Since dyslexia has not been shown to result from developmental problems with the cerebellum, it seems unlikely that treatments aimed at practicing hemispherical motor integration would affect it.
If they'd found something profound about the nature of the condition, I would think they would be publishing papers, not running profitable clinics.
Therefore, my preliminary conclusion is that it's a scam or a bunch of very deluded people (or both).

Actually, it is not really a cure, but a dyslexia _crue_.
