Create a Better Future for Your Child

Get the help you are looking for

The capacity of the human brain is staggering and we use only a small percentage of it. Our work embraces all children from the well newborn to the hurt child who may be struggling intellectually, physically or socially. For more than six decades we have studied the brain and gained a deeper understanding of brain development. We are dedicated to enriching the lives of all children by providing parents with the tools need to make their children healthier, happier and more capable.

Programs for Hurt Children

Our children arrive with symptomatic diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delay, epilepsy, attention deficit disorder, learning problems, dyslexia or one of many syndromes for genetic disorders that can cause neurological problems. Many parents are told that their child cannot be helped. Instead of receiving effective treatment, they are offered palliative care.

We treat the brain, not the symptoms. This makes all the difference. Our parents have proven that hurt children have enormous potential.

For Parents of Well Children

The Newborn Course

Based on six decades of search and discovery, The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential has created a course for expectant parents and parents of babies 0-12 months old.

How to Multiply Your Child’s Intelligence

This course teaches how the brain grows and how to create an enriched environment at home for children from birth to 6 years old.

Programs for Well Children

We know that the potential of the child is huge. All parents want their children to have the best opportunity to realize that potential. How can parents use their child’s precious early years to the fullest?

We have spent the last 60 years with mothers and fathers discovering the best way to teach our parents how to provide a stimulating environment and enriched opportunities for their children to become intellectually, physically and socially capable and confident. When this happens our children can pursue their own path and achieve their own goals.

Developmental Problems Are Not Forever

No matter how frightening the symptomatic label given to the child may be, thousands of parents have learned that the brain has tremendous plasticity. Our hurt kids get better – much better.

Help your Well Child Excel

Learning begins at birth or earlier. The first six years of life are the genesis of genius. The younger a child is, the easier it is to learn. Parents are the key.

Helping Children Around the World

The Institutes is internationally known for its pioneering work in child brain development. Our goal for every brain-injured child is to have a fighting chance to be well. Our goal for every well child is to have the opportunity to be intellectually, physically, and socially excellent—so they are able to follow their own path to achieve their goals in life.

Since we established the first Rehabilitation Center in 1955, we’ve realized those goals in our work with thousands of children from across the globe…and we continue our pioneering work to this day.

"The world has looked at brain growth and development as if it were a predestined and unchangeable fact, instead brain growth and development is a dynamic and ever-changing process."

- Glenn Doman

What Makes us Different

"The knowledge and change The Institutes program brought to our lives has been the best thing. My son has changed dramatically; our whole family and our lives have been transformed. We would not be who we are today if not for this experience. My son is not the only one in our family getting better, we all are."

- Mother, USA

What Makes Us Different

"Doing the program is an incredible bonding process with your children. I loved every moment of teaching them and seeing how it changed their lives for the better. I could see that by instilling the love of learning in my children, their opportunities in life would be endless, that they could be anything they imagined as a result. I’m happy to say that this has proven true over and over again."

- Mother and Ballerina, New Jersey
