What To Do About Your Brain-injured Child: December 2023
Our Parents Have their say
“Well organized and beautifully filled with science, history, support, and heart.”
What was the best thing about the course?
“The ease of understanding, how everything was presented.”
Mother, Iowa
“The Institutes Developmental Profile. It really helped us to see where our daughter is and what she needs to work on and improve.”
Mother, Texas
“I enjoyed the whole as it gradually provided answers to my questions. As I have more questions, I will seek answers with the Staff as we set up and start our home program.”
Father, Texas
“In addition to the classes, the numerous Question and Answers with the Staff and the parents, and the one-on-one breakout sessions.”
Mother, Plano, Texas
“Very well organized and beautifully filled with science, history, support, and heart.”
Mother, Pennsylvania
“The simplicity and effectiveness of the transfer of knowledge.”
Mother, India
“The experienced and professional Staff; the content of the course, and its structure. Also, providing the hard copies of the notes for easy reference. Last but not least, all the Staff have so much patience that all the questions of the participants are answered.”
Father, India
“The fact that the course is done online, it gave us the opportunity to join as soon as possible. The question-and-answer sessions were brilliant. The course was well-organized and no technical faults. Lecturers all look happy and ready to deliver, giving a lot of hope to their students.”
Mother, United Kingdom
“The class by Janet Doman on how to get started with the program.”
Mother, Virginia
“I really liked the knowledge about how the brain works, and even more, the teaching by Glenn Doman, and Janet Doman.”
Mother, Ecuador
“Everything, beginning with the well-distributed support material.”
Father, Ecuador
“Having this guide in such an unknown world.”
Mother, Mexico
“I love the Spectrum of Neurological Organization that Janet Doman taught on the second day, and the goals for our children to progress. When you put a high-level goal, then anything beyond it will be an even greater achievement. I also liked the Questions and Answers with the Staff and parents, and having a Staff Advocate so I am not alone on this journey!”
Mother, Dubai
“The entire course taught us about our child’s abilities, when we had always been told the opposite.”
Mother, Quebec, Canada
“The best thing about this course is that it gave me the knowledge and strength I was looking for to change strategies that we have been using for such a long time. Having the opportunity to spend seven days learning. I feel as if somehow, I have a ‘blank page’ in front of me and a new opportunity. I could not be more thankful to be here.”
Mother, Brasil
What is the most important thing you have learned?
“It is really hard to choose one thing that is the most important one, I really feel that everything is so important. I used to say to my husband that I would do whatever it takes to help our son…SO the most important thing that I can say is I feel now I know what to do to make my son better and it is IN MY HANDS. To learn that we have the tools at home to do so is a life-changing moment.”
Mother, Brasil
“That seizures are a protective mechanism. That they are actually intended to prevent hypoxic injury was mind-blowing.”
Mother, California
“The whole course was a game changer for me. I really like every part of it, the newest part for me was the nutrition and how important the home environment is. And the most glowing sentence I really like is “the brain grows by use.” So I am really excited to do the whole program and grow my little child’s brain.”
Mother, United Arab Emirates
“That brain injury is not the ‘end of the world’. I have no doubt that my son will not only catch up, he will be way ahead of the other kids.”
Mother, Arizona
“I would say everything, from understanding what brain injury is, to the importance of nutrition, the physical and intellectual programs.”
Mother, Dubai
“That there is a solution for children with a brain injury…that the best school for my daughter is with her family and siblings.”
Father, Ecuador
“That the problem is in the brain and can be addressed.”
Mother, Slovenia
“That there is hope for my child.”
Father, Slovenia
“Never leave the wounded behind.”
Mother, Pennsylvania
“I learned that a brain injury is in the brain and that a treatment devised for a child with a brain injury must be directed to the brain. The brain is treated by providing stimulation to the sensory pathways, and opportunities for the motor pathways while ensuring the right environment for the brain is created and maintained for brain growth.”
Father, Texas
“Now I have an explanation for what my son experiences and why he does the things he does, there is a reason why he does these things, it is not a quirk.”
Mother, Texas
“The course is about brain injury, and this has greatly highlighted my understanding of a child’s chronological age vs. his neurological age, which serves as a very good way to assess your child’s level and provide appropriate support.”
Mother, United Kingdom
“Learning about and creating a Developmental Profile of my daughter, that helps me understand better where she is instead of just getting a medical report about it.”
Father, North Carolina
“Addressing conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, etc. requires understanding of the root cause and targeting the root cause, which is the brain.”
Mother, Virginia
How will this change what you do for your child in the future?
“Once I have seen and learned what I have learned in this course, I will never ever be able to ‘unsee’ it, it is impossible to erase. I will change so many things in our routine and include so many new activities and for the first time really understand the why and the how to, not delegating to therapists. As it was acknowledged, there is something really special and unique in the chemistry between mother and child.”
Mother, Brasil
“Our household will be dedicated to my daughter’s home treatment program to be followed consistently. Her life depends on it.”
Mother, California
“Both my husband and I will start implementing the programs I have designed during this course.”
Mother, Arizona
“First and foremost, no more feeling sorry and giving ‘lazy’ time, instead introducing the program immediately, customizing my daughter’s diet, starting the physical program for brain development.”
Mother, Dubai
“I am now more aware that I must implement everything I learned so that my daughter has developmental opportunities like any child her age, and why not, above average.”
Mother, Ecuador
“Continue to never give up but now I will not feel alone. That changes everything. I have direction and know where to get support.”
Mother, Pennsylvania
“That my child can be treated, not just managed. I have a plan to follow, physically, intellectually, and physiologically, for my child now.”
Father, Texas
“Nearly everything will change, but definitely the change is for the good.”
Father, India
“It is important for me to reflect very carefully and make informed choices now, so my child will be able to read and write and thrive above his peers and lead a beautiful, fulfilled life.”
Mother, United Kingdom
Was the course what you were expecting?
“Honestly, it was way beyond my expectations. I have been around so many specialists, doctors, therapists, and my son is on on-going therapies for six years now several hours a week and for the first time it just all made sense to me. So many answers I had gotten but not fully understood or continued questioning are now clear.”
Mother, Brasil
“It exceeded my expectations by far.”
Mother, Quebec, Canada
“Much more than I expected.”
Mother, India
“Yes and exceeded my expectations I love the way the course is organized from the lectures to the breaks and questions. I also like how everything we need in the program is covered.”
Mother, United Arab Emirates
“You delivered more than I could ever expect. It was a mind-blowing and eye-opening experience, even though I knew a mother who had shared her experience with me.”
Mother, Arizona
“Exceeded all the expectations.”
Mother, Dubai
“Yes, it really met my expectations in every way.”
Father, Ecuador
“Overall, more than expected.”
Father, Slovenia
“I was incredibly moved and motivated to see the classes of Glenn Doman, I was overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude to get to see him and hear him. We are a military family as well so on a deeply personal level I am incredibly respectful of Mr. Doman’s service. And of course I am deeply moved and grateful for his tireless dedication to the brain-injured and the love, I know, he would have for my daughter. His legacy provides hope for her and countless others. I am especially grateful for the high standards which are both expected and achieved by The Institutes’ Staff. I finally feel like I have met people that know what they are doing, live by example, and DO want to be emotionally involved and not detached, from the wounded. It is a drastically different philosophy and commitment than is offered anywhere else. It is truth.”
Mother, Pennsylvania
“Yes, and more.”
Mother, Iowa
“More than I was expecting in fact.”
Mother, Texas
“Yes, I could tell that the course was an intellectual program especially when I received my course materials. I did not expect it was going to be this detailed. It is such a good course.”
Mother, United Kingdom
What would be your advice to a parent considering taking this course?
“My advice would be to listen to this course with your heart.”
Mother, Brasil
“Time is the enemy and is not going to resolve your child’s issues. New knowledge and proven programs will help and are best applied as early as possible.”
Father, Kansas
“Don’t be afraid to try, it will change your vision of your child’s future.”
Mother, Quebec, Canada
“I would tell them it is a blessing if they can dedicate and do it.”
Mother, India
“I really recommend this course for every mother who feels that there is no hope for her brain-injured child. Actually, you will meet Angels who spend their whole life doing a lot of research to customize this amazing program for you to break the whole world expectations and takes you from the dark to the light. If you really love your child and want to give your child a quality of life, please attend the Course!!!!!”
Mother, United Arab Emirates
“Do not be skeptical. There are not many options out there and you have probably tried most of them. You have nothing to lose.”
Mother, Arizona
“Take it as soon as possible and don’t waste a minute. It will give you knowledge and hope.”
Mother, Slovenia
“Don’t wait too long. Start immediately.”
Father, Slovenia
“Trisomy 21, parents of autistic kids, and those with genetic abnormalities…TAKE IT…you will be so glad you did.”
Grandmother, Florida
“Read the book, set time aside to take the course, and make sure both parents are taking it.”
Mother, Texas
“Take the course together and as soon as possible. Do not wait. The whole course is very rich in content. If I could do it differently, I would have attended the course earlier, it took me a year from the time I heard of The Institutes before I signed up for the course.”
Father, Texas
“This course is the only logical and scientific way to treat the brain-injured child.”
Father, India
“My advice to UK parents joining the course is that they take time off and take a nap before joining I the afternoon. To prepare physically and emotionally, because I felt very emotional most times, especially seeing Glenn Doman talking, he left such a legacy.”
Mother, United Kingdom
“Before going to start on any kind of therapies for your child, please take this course.”
Mother, Virginia
Was it worth the time, effort, and money it cost?
“Yes, it was. Had I known about it, I would have taken it two years ago. Keep going like this. Your effort and knowledge are very valuable to us.”
Mother, Slovenia
“Most definitely. I am deeply moved by the life work of everyone involved and the unwavering dedication in helping others. So much of what was discussed in the course resonates with our experiences. In so many ways, I feel like my own dedication, frustrations, sorrows and daily struggles have been validated, and I feel strengthened in my fox hole and now feel that I am not alone.”
Mother, Pennsylvania
“The amount of knowledge I gained was well worth my time. I wish I knew this before even having kids, but the good news is my kids will benefit from it now and even better, if I have another child they will fully benefit from everything I learned from the day that they are born. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and years of experience. I feel this will benefit me and my whole family. Greatly appreciated!”
Mother, Texas
“Definitely. The Institutes is doing a great job for mankind.”
Mother, India
“Absolutely. It is really heartening to see that there is one place on the face of this earth, where a parent of a hurt child can find solutions, that would open an entire new dimension of happiness, hope, and wellness for the entire family. I consider myself fortunate to fine The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. Thank you very much.”
Father, India
“It is, preparing all the materials and books needs a lot of time and effort which is much appreciated. Putting the team together to teach people of different backgrounds is also a win. There is all the information one needs to go forward. I am and will be ever grateful for the time you invest in treating our children. And in fact, we are so hopeful that one day our stories too shall be told in The Institutes IN Report.”
Mother, United Kingdom
“Of course, yes. Including interacting with the professional Staff during all the breaks. And I would say to other parents about attending this course, don’t skimp on learning the best tools to help their children with brain injuries.”
Mother, Ecuador
“Of course, yes. Thanks to the questions resolved at each break, I had the opportunity to understand everything. If anything, I would like to hear even more from Glenn Doman, he is a very wise person. I didn’t know anything about The Institutes until my wife told me, now I’m your fan.”
Father, Ecuador
“Absolutely. After the course each day at home, I was with my daughter afterwards. It’s impressive how it changes your attitude with your child. Congratulations to The Institutes on your work, it’s exceptional. And a thousand thanks for opening a window where there was only a wall!!”
Mother, Mexico
“Yes. You are doing a great job! God bless you all!”
Mother, United Arab Emirates
“Totally! I loved the course. I have never been more hopeful that my child will recover. Seeing the other parents with children even more hurt than mine was mind-blowing as well. We have not had many people around us with similar problems. Many parents around us just feel sorry for us, which made us uncomfortable. It felt comfortable to ask questions about my child in front of the others who have similar problems.”
Mother, Arizona
“Absolutely yes, and I am now thinking of attending the other Lecture Series with additional information. I hope to meet you all one day and be part of your community as my child overcomes her challenges.”
Mother, Dubai
“Yes, very much. I am so grateful to take this course from home. I respect your Institute so much, you have given life to thousands of children and gave hope to their families. You are all doing so much more.”
Mother, India
“It was worth the time, energy and money invested, to the point that initially we didn’t plan to go to The Institutes quickly. The course confirmed the opposite to us that we had to get there as quickly as possible to stop wasting precious time. If I could have, I would have taken this course as soon as we had the diagnosis of Downs Syndrome during my pregnancy to be better equipped when starting out.”
Mother, Quebec, Canada
“Yes, without a doubt. You are all doing amazing work and I thank God every day that I found you. Thank you for all that you do. It is clear as day that the Staff are passionate and sincere in all that they do for us and our children.”
Mother, California
“Absolutely yes. The format was perfect. We had many opportunities for questions, break out rooms, and the content was really clear for me. Looking back, I would have been more firm about bringing my husband with me. Thank you. No words right now could express all I would like to say.”
Mother, Brasil
