Can anyone give me some info on her and her treatment methods? Is the therapy easy to manage at home.
Is it worth driving 2 hours to hear her speak and look at her materials?
Thanks!

She is local here and has spoken at our conferences before, but it's been about 6 or 7 years since I've been to one of her talks. I know that several people in our local area have found her info to be very helpful. As I recall she focuses pretty heavily on yeast as a culprit for leaking gut and all kinds of learning issues resulting from that. Her therapies are heavily diet oriented focusing on yeast and there are some supplements but not remembering specifics.
I can see if I can get more info form some people who I think are doing her program. I also know they have tapes of her talk from our confernece from last year. Let me see if I can find the links for that company.

I have used her manuel Brain integration therapy, which is for eye tracking problems, poor memory, dyslexia, etc. I found it easy to do at home and helpful.

Oh this may be helpful to me for our son (for his vision learning problem). I'm going to see her this coming weekend at our NY State convention.

I've been very impressed with what I have seen so far - though I've never heard her directly. I browsed all over her web - diannecraft.org. One local mom mentioned her at a session and used the manual herself with maybe some support from some other therapists working with other things - and one thing we kept coming to was that the list of symptoms for dyslexia, ADD, vision problems, etc. are all the same. It seems that since the brain is still a mysterious and not fully understood aspect - a lot of things that help one, seem to help all and many areas seem to overlap.
We have done vision therapy, have looked at NACD and Hopeandafuture and now Dianne Craft. It appears that they are doing many of the same things - each having a few different things and many with overlaps. These all seem to be based or trained in Colorado.
Not all of Dianne Craft's emphasis is on nutrition. There is quite a bit on coordinating the brain - kind of things that seem quite relevant to some of mine who still do not use both hands at the same time, etc.
One thing I found is that there is tons of information on her site but it is all tucked away in various places. I simply went through every option (brute force) and read every article she posted. You gain a lot of information there. There were quite a few things, I think they were on the site where either you find out about evaluation or on the site where you purchase her manual. I cannot remember, except that all the articles were not conveniently tucked together and you had to read everything to find the information.

She was amazing! She has her talks on DVD that you can purchase. I'd suggest doing this. I heard her talk, and still bought her *Teaching the Right Brained Child DVD, and was watching it again, and remembering again what she said. I think I'll have to hear it over and over again to figure out all that I need to do.
Besides the vision tracking problems my son has, I came to also find out that the reason our daughter learns SO, SO differently, is because she's EXTREMELY right brained, and I'm not! So I feel like I can understand her so much better now, that, and the book I'm reading as well that's helping me (Strong-Willed Child or Dreamer by Ron Braund and Dana Spears ). Strong-Willed Child or Dreamer
Dianne Craft really taught me SO many things, and I was so grateful to have heard her.
