Summary

In this landmark book, Glenn Doman-pioneer in the treatment of brain-injured children-brings real hope to thousands of children who have been given up for lost and sentenced to a life of institutional confinement. Glenn Doman is the founder and head of the world-famous Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, which has treated 15,000 patients in the United States and many other nations. In this valuable volume for parents and fellow professionals, Doman documents The Institutes' half-century of success with the brain-injured, citing statistics and case histories, and illustrating the basic principles of brain development with charts, diagrams, and drawings.

Glenn Doman received his degree in physical therapy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1940, and began pioneering the field of child brain development. In 1955, he founded The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The author has lived with, studied, and worked with children in more than one hundred nations, ranging from the most civilized to the most primitive. Doman is also the international best-selling author of six books, all part of the Gentle Revolution Series, including How To Teach Your Baby To Read, How To Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge, and How to Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence.
