What To Do About Your Brain-injured Child: April 2024

“My son is not stupid or slow, he is brain injured.”

Our Parents
Have their Say

 

What is the most important
thing you have learned?

“Ultimately, I learned there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Previously, the ADHD diagnosis and the behavior was overwhelming. We’ve had so much stress and doubt and confusion. To know that these behaviors are neither willful nor permanent has given us new hope and a roadmap to get there as quickly as humanly possible.”

Mother, New York

“The brain, especially an injured brain, has the ability and the capability to learn, to be stimulated, and work as well, if not better, than an uninjured brain.”

Mother, Scotland

“Our son has so much more potential than we could ever imagine and that it is really possible to develop it.”

Mother, Brazil

“That my son is not stupid or slow, he is brain injured. I feel like we were chasing his peers all his life, we just never succeeded. But now I have hope, optimism, and a concrete plan – a real plan, with steps to follow. This is what I have always wished for, and miraculously, it has now happened. I am so grateful.”

Mother, Slovenia

“Brain-injury can be helped. I never heard this in my country for an entire seven years. This gives me everything already.”

Mother, China

“Everything I thought I knew I had to forget. I had to go back to the basics. This was really important for me to understand that my son was missing the necessary steps to be able to use his brain to its full capacity. I also learned the importance of nutrition for proper brain function.”

Father, Philadelphia

“I learned my child is brain-injured, not globally delayed or hopeless. Best of all, I now know I can actually do something about it.”

Mother, Long Island, NY

“All the things we have learned from our current doctors are not as informed as the professional Staff of The Institutes. The Institutes experts come together to see the whole picture of the child, and not just one specific area.”

Mother, Tennessee

“Many things… but it boils down to ALWAYS trusting your Mother’s instinct. And seeking the answer that gives you meaning and connection.”

Mother, Florida

 

How will this change what you do for your child in the future?

“I will be removing my twin girls from their Special Needs school to keep them home with me so we can begin their home treatment program.”

Mother, Scotland

“We will change the environment my son lives in, and we will change the way we play together, because I see that doing the program will be a fun time for him.”

Mother, Brazil

“It changes everything, what we eat, how we live, what we do with my son, so his life can change completely for his future.”

Mother, Slovenia

“My wife and I are confident that as parents we can impact our child’s development, make his life better, help him to fulfill his potential.”

Father, Kentucky

“This course has given me deep insights, to work hard, to make my son’s future bright.”

Mother, India

“Instead of accepting what the doctors say -nothing to do, just wait and see – we can use the time to heal my grandson’s brain. Time is on our side if we start now, we are believing he will see and read one day!”

Grandmother, Long Island, NY

 

Was the course what
you were expecting?

“The course was outstanding. I am so very grateful to The Institutes for your dedicated work for all brain-injured children around the world, but most of all, the support and understanding you show to the parents of these hurt children. You Listen You Listen YOU LISTEN to we Mothers and that to me personally has lifted my spirits and filled me with Faith that my beautiful twin daughters will achieve and meet their goals, and go on to live independent lives. God Bless You All.”

Mother, Scotland

“The course was much more than I expected. There was so much valuable information in addition to teaching the program to the parents. Even though there was some technical information about the brain, everything was taught in a very clear way, and therefore easy to understand. The Staff is doing a fantastic job. I am already an advocate for you here in Brazil.”

Father, Brazil

“The course was way more than I expected, which is a good thing!”

Father, Philadelphia

“The course was far better than what I was expecting.”

Mother, Long Island, NY

 

What would be your advice
to a parent considering
taking this course?

“TAKE IT! Unlock the door to your child’s potential. Don’t keep them in jail. Don’t keep them in their silent imprisonment. Let them out and let them have the life they deserve. If I could do something over, it would be to have signed up 8 years ago”

Mother, Tennessee

“Forget everything that you have been told and start with The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential to give your child a fighting chance to become well. Time is your child’s enemy. Save up every penny to help turn your brain-injured child’s life around, and your family’s.”

Mother, Scotland

“Do it – take the course. It is worth every struggle to be able to imagine a better future for your children. Remember the whole family can be involved in whatever plan of action you end up taking, no one is going to be neglected or left behind. There is zero need for Mom guilt.”

Mother, New York

“Take it and don’t delay! Don’t waste any more time! Your child deserves this! There’s another class soon…sign up! And have notebooks on hand…I filled two! Ask questions – the Staff is incredible to talk to!”

Grandmother, Long Island, NY

“To give your child the opportunity to have a dignified life, improve their health, and for that, the most important thing is to fill yourself with the knowledge to be able to help them. The day a mom told me about the program, I contacted The Institutes. For me, I just didn’t want to waste any more time.”

Mother, Miami, Florida

“Every parent attending the course needs to keep their head cool and open-minded, and prepared to learn extraordinary things to benefit their children.”

Father, Kentucky

“Please do not delay! You will find nowhere else the work backed up by evidence and data. Trust me, I’ve looked!”

Father, Philadelphia

“Run, don’t walk to take it, and it is a steal.”

Father, Virginia

“Don’t hesitate, just go for it and do it as soon as possible. Mothers, try to convince Dad to come, too, so you won’t need to teach him about what to do later on.”

Mother, Slovenia

“The Institutes is a place where they give you a lot of information based on years of experience. Most importantly, it’s a group of people who believe in your child and believe they can succeed. They give you guidance, and the opportunity to ask all kinds of questions. Be prepared to obtain A LOT of valuable information.”

Mother, Florida

“Plan properly to attend the on-line course to avoid being distracted from it. Plan on attending as if you were attending an in-person course but from the comfort of your home and avoiding expensive transportation. This course gives you the ability to talk to specialists on brain development and learn from them.”

Father, Brazil

 

 

What was the best
thing about the course?

“The whole content of the course. I like the fact that now I have a program…I don’t need to go home, study my son, prepare a program…I have it. And it came so gradually that even though it’s quite a culture shock in all aspects, it came gradually enough that I came to terms with the changes we are about to make in our lives.”

Mother, Slovenia

“The true search about brain-injured children, the heart to not give up, the passion for finding out the solutions, this is such a gift! We have experienced many, many meetings with experts but within several minutes, we know in our heart, no hope.”

Mother, China

“The interaction with all the Staff members truly breaking down every question and if you didn’t understand, each Staff member took time to step-by-step to go over the process that you didn’t understand to make sure you got it. I also love the flexibility of The Institutes. I was actually able to come in and watch on their computers live stream and felt the environment made it even more comforting, it truly meant the world to me.”

Father, Philadelphia

“The teachers are filled with so much love and compassion…it blew me away! And the intelligence with which it was taught! I’m a registered nurse and I agree with it all!!!”

Grandmother, Long Island, NY

“How passionate every Staff member and Instructor felt towards what they were teaching. We could feel the love through the screen.”

Mother, Tennessee


“Being able to design the home program and having professionals willing to answer so many questions. It was amazing that in such a short time, just putting my baby in the prone position already made a difference.”

Mother, Guatemala

“That the legacy is maintained, it feels like The Institutes Staff really want to help you and it’s not just about money, that the course is presented live and not videos that you can watch whenever you have time because it would never happen.”

Mother, Miami, Florida

“The fact that you have a Staff Advocate, and a Home Program Consultation in a month or two.”

Mother, South Africa

“The Institutes Developmental Profile – it will help me to evaluate all of my children for years to come, to confirm significant progress, and higher achievements.”

Mother, New York

“I really appreciated the amount of time we had to get our questions asked and answered.”

Mother, Scotland

“Teaching my baby how to read, and how to enhance my baby’s mobility. My husband was also impacted by the knowledge that breathing and coordination are intimately related to the ability of swallowing.”

Mother, Brazil

“I liked the fact that we could have break-out rooms to answer questions every break, and also in the mornings before classes started.”

Father, Kentucky

“The availability of the Staff to answer questions, making sure the information is understood, the support.”

Mother, Pennsylvania

 

Was it worth the time,
effort, and money it cost?

“100%. My job as a mother is to do all I can do to help my twin daughters get well and I now know exactly how to do this, thanks to The Institutes. I am happy with everything that was in the course. I am now knowledgeable and have been educated in an area that I’ve been shut down on since I first raised my concerns about my twin daughters’ conditions, no one listened, no one helped. I now feel in control, full of faith and determination to get the battle won. I want to thank each and every one of the Staff of The Institutes, God Bless you All.”

Mother, Scotland

“Yes, and if I could do it over again, I would insist my husband to attend, too. Thank you to The Staff of The Institutes for the work that you do, and everything that you shared with us. From the first day, I felt like these are good people, they are doing the right thing, but also they are down to earth, funny, really enjoyable to listen to. The course was just right- information that I could understand which is important. The information was given at the appropriate level so that I understood enough to know why, what, and how. I have the motivation and optimism now, I feel I can do this, I can start.”

Mother, Slovenia

“Yes, of course. I am glad that we took this step and made this decision for our beautiful daughter. Just by putting her on her belly and watch her movement, it was worth every penny put into this course. And I wouldn’t change anything about creating a good learning environment at home to attend this course.”

Father, Miami, Florida

“100% yes totally. When we saw the information about this course, our decision was immediate, in less than a day. If I could do it again, I would have done it even sooner! We are very eager to start with what we’ve learned.”

Mother, Mexico

“Definitely! The knowledge is priceless. It provided my husband and I with a wide spectrum of possibilities to develop our son. The Staff are angels. Thank you.”

Mother, Brazil

“Absolutely. I hope The Institutes never stops and can teach many more families to save their children.”

Father, Virginia

“Absolutely! A thousand times more! It was incredible experience. Thank you!!! I will never look at children in the same way again. And that’s a very good thing.”

Mother, Long Island, NY

“All of it!!! I would do it 100 times over!!!! You are a Godsend! You have given us hope in a world that had no answers and that wouldn’t validate my daughter’s concerns about her child even though she is a registered nurse as well! God Bless You one hundred times over!!!!!”

Grandmother, Long Island, NY
