Glenn Doman is the founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, to which parents from every continent have been finding their way for more than a half-century. He and The Institutes are known for their pioneering work with brain-injured children and for their work in early development for well children.
In addition to dealing intimately with more than twenty thousand families over the last fifty years, he has strongly influenced millions of families through the book What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child and the groundbreaking Gentle Revolution Series of books and materials that teach parents how to teach their babies at home. The first of these books was How To Teach Your Baby To Read.
Glenn Doman has lived with, studied, or worked with children in more than one hundred nations, ranging from the most civilized to the most primitive. He was distinguished for outstanding heroism in action during World War II and was knighted by the Brazilian government in 1966 for his services to the children of the world.
Glenn Doman is the principal lecturer for courses given by The Institutes for the parents of well children and brain-injured children. When he is not lecturing in Philadelphia or around the world, he works closely with parents and children, discovering better ways to make hurt kids well and well kids more capable.

The Institutes teaches parents how to evaluate and treat their brain-injured child at home. From the Home Study Program to the Intensive Treatment Program, the objective is to help brain-injured children develop physically, intellectually and socially so that they may one day live among peers, not in special schools or institutions.
