date back to at least 30 years before the DDAT was founded. Controversy After the British journal Dyslexia published one paper about the Dore programme in 2003, the paper was followed by ten critical commentaries and one commentator resigned from Dyslexia'''s editorial board. In 2006, five members of the board of directors resigned in protest of the publication of a follow-up article highly favorable of Dore, citing concerns about the methodology used in the study and financial conflicts of interest due to Dore's involvement in funding the research. The editor of Dyslexia'' defended the decision to publish, and the authors of the original Dore research paper responded vigorously to these criticisms and continued to support their findings and conclusions. Advertising Standards Authority rules against Dore In December 2009, the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ordered Dore to take down advertisements he had posted via Google links that claimed the program offered help for dyslexia, Asperger syndrome, and ADHD developmental coordination disorder. Dore attempted to defend the ads by citing two studies supporting its claims, but the ASA ruled that the advertisements' claims were unsupported by the studies and were misleading. Financial history In May 2008 the DDAT company (Dyslexia Dyspraxia Attention Treatment), went into liquidation in the UK. On 23 January 2009, Dynevor Ltd acquired the intellectual property rights and the assets of the Dore programme from Wynford Dore and CDT Ltd.
