We teach parents around the world how to help their children to achieve their potential - physiological, physical, intellectual & social. Historically, children diagnosed with developmental delay, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, learning problems, dyslexia, and a host of other symptomatic diagnoses have been considered hopeless. Thousands of parent

s have come to The Institutes to learn how to help their children at home. Those parents have proven beyond any doubt that brain-injured children are not hopeless, but instead have tremendous potential. The Institutes exists to insure that all brain-injured children have a fighting chance to be well. The objective of The Institutes is to take brain-injured children, however severely hurt, and help them to achieve normality physically, intellectually, physiologically, and socially. The majority of children achieve one of these goals, and many children achieve two of these goals. Some children achieve all of these goals, and some children achieve none of these goals. The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential serves children from all over the world. The international headquarters is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Qualified branches of The Institutes are the European Institute in Fauglia, Italy, and The Doman Kenkyusho in Tokyo and Kobe, Japan. The Institutes have offices in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and Madrid Spain. The Institutes presents courses for parents in Philadelphia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Russia, and Australia.

What can 25 years of observations teach us about child development?

For decades, The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) has been dedicated to studying human development and encouraging parents to take an active role in their children’s learning.

One part of this history is the research of Dr. Patrick James “Paddy Jim” Baggot, who examined a 25-year database involving 248 children with Down syndrome participating in the IAHP program.

His work explored patterns of neurological development and raised questions that continue to deserve thoughtful research and discussion.

25 years of data.
248 children.
And a question worth exploring:

What can we learn when we look carefully at children’s development over time?

At The Institutes, we believe meaningful questions can open the door to meaningful discoveries.

Explore the research. Explore the history. Keep asking questions.

📖 Read Dr. Baggot’s research: “Doubling the Rate of Neurologic Development in Down Syndrome: A Pilot Study”

🔎 More research is coming soon.

Mother developed a blood clot during pregnancy, so the baby was delivered by C-section. At 7 months, little Jorge was still unable to move. A cerebral hemorrhage was found. Jorge was diagnosed with a central nervous system disorder, dystonia, and a chromosomal abnormality. 🧠

At age 3, Jorge could not stand up and could only walk short distances. He could not use his hands, his understanding was below his age level and his health was poor. 💔

Jorge’s parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course and started a program at home. Four months later, Jorge was able to stand up independently and walk outdoors. His understanding and speech had developed to age level, and his health had improved significantly. ✨

At seven years of age, Jorge was understanding and speaking above age level. He was reading and writing in both Spanish and English, mathematics was his favorite subject, and chess a favorite activity. He was running more than 1,000 meters non-stop. 📚♟️

By age 9, Jorge was reading well and running 3 km in 3o minutes daily, he had begun typing. Jorge was very motivated to do his home program daily. He was improving in every aspect of his life. 🌱

Today, at age 10, Jorge is reading at a 12 year old level, and he has begun studying algebra a year ahead of his peers. Jorge is running 5 kilometers in 35 minutes and is a successful gymnast. He is riding a bike and swimming independently, as Jorge says “I can save my life in the water now”. Jorge has begun writing his autobiography. He plans a day’s menu of healthy eating for his family and prepares his own breakfast. He has not had a single illness for a full year and has achieved his Health Victory. 🏆

Nothing stopping this young man in any way at all! 🚀

💛 Your child is so much more than a diagnosis.

A diagnosis may give you a name for a challenge.

But it doesn’t define your child’s potential, personality, strengths, or story.

As a parent, you may have questions.
You may want to understand more.
You may simply want to know, “What can I do?”

🧠 Knowledge can change the way you see your child and the choices you make moving forward.

At The Institutes, we educate parents so they can better understand neurological development and become more confident in supporting their child at home.

✨ Start with knowledge. Start with hope. Start with The Institutes.

📌 Save this for the days when you need a reminder:
Your child is more than a diagnosis.

💜 Share it with a parent who needs to hear this today.

✨What if the earliest years could open the door to greater possibilities?

As Janet Doman reminds us, babies are constantly learning, growing, and discovering their world.

The opportunity isn’t about pushing a baby to be more. It’s about understanding development, providing rich experiences, and giving parents the knowledge to support their baby from the very beginning. 🧠💛

Because sometimes, the greatest head start we can give a child is an informed and confident parent.

✨ GREAT LEGACIES DON’T END. THEY CONTINUE.

Glenn Doman spent his life challenging assumptions about children and the human brain. 🧠

He taught us to keep asking one powerful question:

WHAT IS POSSIBLE?

Behind that question were decades of:

🔹 Observation
🔹 Learning
🔹 Families
🔹 Children
🔹 Being in the trenches

🌎 70 years of learning from children.

Today, that legacy continues through the work of The Institutes and through every parent who chooses to learn, believe, and act for their child.

❤️ Glenn Doman’s work continues.
