By Glenn Doman
Hardcover - 318 pages
In this landmark book, Glenn Doman—pioneer in
the treatment of the brain-injured—brings hope to thousands of children, many inoperable, many given up for lost and doomed to live in a frightening, even dangerous world.
In this valuable volume for parents and professionals,
Doman documents The Institutes
The author explains why the old theories and techniques
have failed. He defines The Institutes philosophy and
revolutionary treatment of the brain rather than the body,
recounts his staffs worldwide research, and details their
tireless efforts to refine the treatment of brain injury.
He reveals their lifesaving techniques and their tools to
measure-and ultimately improve-mobility, language, manual,
visual, auditory and tactile development, including unique
methods of patterning, masking and motivation. In addition,
Glenn Doman explains The Institutes individualized home
program in which parents, and love, are the vital
ingredients. All of this is so that the brain-injured
child can one day live with his peers, not in an
institution.
The great majority of children will do better than their
parents had dared hope on the basis of prior experience
with the conventional methods. With others, there will be
disappointment. However, any and all improvement in the
child will have been accomplished by parents-those
commonly ignored, sometimes despised, frequently
patronized, almost-never-believed people.
“This book is the first book in history, to my knowledge, which tells how to treat brain-injured children, why to treat brain-injured children, and most precisely what happened to a group of brain-injured children when they were so treated.” - Raymundo Veras, MD
“The true and touching story of the efforts of an obviously highly educated group of workers who believe thoroughly in what they are doing. . . (who) have unquestionably helped many children and their families. ” - Louise B. Ames, The Gessell Institute for Child Development
