What To Do About Your Brain-injured Child
Glenn Doman ― pioneer in the treatment of the brain-injured children and founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential ― brings hope to thousands of children who have been sentenced to a life of institutional confinement.
In What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child, Doman recounts the story of The Institutes’ tireless effort to refine treatment of the brain injured. He shares the staff’s lifesaving techniques and the tools used to measure ― and ultimately improve ― visual, auditory, tactile, mobile, and manual development. Doman explains the unique methods of treatment, and then describes the program with which parents can work with their own children at home in a familiar and loving environment. Included throughout are case histories, drawings, and helpful charts and diagrams.
Glenn Doman
Glenn Doman is a physical therapist and a pioneer in the field of child brain development. In 1955 he founded the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP), a non-profit organization providing teaching programs and books designed to improve and accelerate the mental and physical development of normal as well as brain-damaged children. The IAHP was originally set up to develop the capabilities of brain-damaged children through intense programs of mental and physical stimulation.
Doman’s revolutionary treatment program was called “The Glenn Doman Method” or “The Doman Method”. Doman International proudly honors Glenn and his contributions to humankind by recognizing him for his dedication and calling our work “The Doman Method”. Through Glenn’s groundbreaking work in child development, thousands of children on six continents diagnosed with Autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, epilepsy, learning difficulties, ADD/ADHD, as well as Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) and other genetic abnormalities, have been helped by the Doman Method.
