By Glenn Doman®
Hardcover - 318 pages
In this valuable volume for parents and professionals, Glenn Doman documents The Institutes® more than 65-year success with the brain-injured, citing statistics and case histories, and illustrating the basic principles of brain development with charts, diagrams and drawings.
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 staff's 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

This book was fascinating and totally reframed my thinking in dealing with my brain-injured child! Everyone should have access to this material!
So informative and eye opening on how to help your child with a brain injury, in this case-Down Syndrome…
Life changing!
This invaluable technology should be studied and known by every parent in the world as it should be applied to all children because it handles so many problems all kids deal with unless their parents, teachers, guardians, etc. are knowledgable and can use this tech in raising healthy, happy children.
This book is very interesting and I highly recommend it. It will give you hope.
This magnificent book is able to get to the "root" of the problem with brain injuries.
Its pages give a clear blueprint for parents to understand what is the cause of their child's challenge. As a result, they are able to help their children by rewiring their brains.
This book is a masterpiece and should be read by all parents regardless of well or brain-injured children.
I highly recommend this book.
