Why the Program Works
More Than 70 Years of Search and Discovery in Child Brain Development
Since 1955, The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential has taught parents about brain growth and development.
Brain growth is a dynamic process. It is a process that can be stopped or slowed by brain-injury but most importantly it is a process that can be speeded.
The brain grows by use.
Stimulation and opportunity create brain growth.
Many medications suppress brain function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Parents Commonly Ask
What makes you different?
A real diagnosis
When children diagnosed as “developmentally delayed” come to us they have often been almost everywhere. Although they have had many assessments and tests, they seldom arrive here with a real diagnosis. Instead, the child has been given a symptomatic label. Symptomatic labels do not tell parents where the problem is, nor do they articulate how much of a problem there is, or how widespread it may be. This is what a real diagnosis must do to be a diagnosis. These labels do not offer anything but confusion, fear and almost always a very poor prognosis. After a careful and extensive evaluation, our children get a real diagnosis which tells parents what area of the brain is involved, what is the degree of injury and what is the extent of injury.
We Focus On The Brain
The danger of symptomatic labels is that they will lead to treating those symptoms rather than the underlying cause – injury to the brain. We treat the brain, not the symptoms. Since the brain runs everything there are many ways to treat the brain through stimulation and opportunity. The brain grows by use, just like the biceps so our program is all about growing the brain.
We do not use drugs to treat the brain
Many children arrive here heavily medicated. They may be taking anti-convulsants, amphetamines, tranquilizers, or anti-psychotics. These medications can have a suppressive effect on the central nervous system. A sedated child is not a healthy child. Sleep, appetite, digestion, and energy can all be negatively affected by these medications. We decrease and remove these medications very carefully to ensure that our children can benefit fully from the stimulation and opportunity that the program provides.
We believe in Mothers and Fathers
We know that when it comes to children – parents are not the problem, they are always the answer. We know parents from all over the world, from every country and corner of the world. Regardless of culture or custom, when it comes to children, parents are the same. Parents know their kids better than anyone else and parents love their kids more than anyone else. We believe parents are good for their kids and kids are good for their parents. We believe that when parents understand how the brain grows and why it grows the way it does, they are the best therapists their child will ever have. Children have the very best chance to develop and get better when they are at home with their mothers and fathers and their sisters and brothers.
We did not set out 70 years ago to be different. We set out to make our children better. We had to forge a new path and even create a new field of child brain development to do that.

Our course is our course |
|
Our course is original in every detail. It is not a copy of anyone else’s course or derived from the work of someone else. It is ours lock, stock and barrel. The Institutes has been teaching parents, and those parents have been getting results with their children for 70 years. Yes, there are many others over these seven decades who have pretended to be doing our work. It might be a compliment if they were just imitating shoes. But hurt children are not shoes. Teaching our parents and helping our kids requires real commitment and deep experience. It also requires honesty, dedication, and courage. We believe the imitators are harmful. |
No one has ever said that my child is brain-injured. How do I know whether this course is for my child?
You may have been given one of the 350 symptomatic labels often used for brain-injured children (such as developmental delay, autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, attention deficit disorder, learning problems, persistent vegetative state, or epilepsy). These labels all indicate that there is a problem in the central nervous system.
I have so many questions. Will there be time to ask my questions?
Our parents arrive with a thousand questions. Hundreds of those questions are answered in the lectures that are presented each day, but aside from these presentations, parents can ask questions every 50 minutes during the course. The entire clinical staff is available to make sure that parents have the maximum opportunity to get their questions answered. As the course progresses, parents can request break-out sessions to talk with staff in the breaks. At the beginning and the end of each day, parents are encouraged to come early or stay after class if they have more questions. Our goal is to answer every question for which we have an answer before the course ends.
Will I go home with a program for my child?
Yes. You will go home with:
- A program that addresses your child’s health and nutritional needs
- A sensory program that provides the appropriate stimulation for your child’s vision, auditory, and tactile pathways
- A motor program that provides the appropriate opportunity to crawl, creep, walk, or run, depending on your child’s present mobility level
- An intellectual program that starts your child on a clear path to intellectual excellence
- A unified plan that embraces the whole family and includes everyone
Do both parents have to take the course together?
Yes and no. No, both parents are not required to come together. Yes, it is far better when both mother and father can attend together. It is a life-changing experience, parents often say that they are very happy they made the decision to come at the same time. Getting the program started is easier when both parents understand and can support each other immediately. Another significant advantage: When one parent enrolls that enrollment tuition includes the other parent automatically.
Seven days is a long time to be away from my child. Do I really need seven days?
Yes, it is a long time to be away from your child. Yes, you really need all seven days of the course. In fact, those seven days are not enough to teach everything we wish to teach. By the end of the course our parents understand that very well. At the conclusion of the course, you will understand your child much better. You will be looking at your child with bigger eyes. You will have a new respect for your child and your child’s potential. You will know what your child really needs. You will have a real battle plan that shows you exactly what you need to do each day.
How do I know this course is what I want?
We understand. Our parents have been everywhere seeking answers. Often precious funds and resources have been used with not much to show for it. For this reason, if parents enroll and at the end of the first day of our course, they do not feel it is what they want, we will refund the full enrollment.
“The best thing about this course is the support. After seeing so many doctors and having so many opinions and non-answers you truly do feel alone in the world of brain-injured children. This course not only gives you tangible actions, but you also receive the support of an entire team that is invested in your child.”
