The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential

The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential We are pioneer in child brain development. "The brain grows by use." Glenn Doman. Stimulation & Opportunity!
(366)

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 parents 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.

Welcome to Trisomy Awareness Month 💛

This month, we’re not just talking about a diagnosis.

We’re talking about stories.
About strength.
About love that shows up in the hardest moments.

Not as labels…
But as lives.

The children who light up rooms.
The families who rewrite what courage looks like.
The moments that don’t fit into medical charts.

Because awareness was never meant to live in statistics.

Awareness lives in humanity.
In connection.
In seeing the person before the condition.

This month, we honor every story behind the diagnosis 💛

Sometimes parents ask us one simple question:
“What makes you different?”

The answer is our history, our heart, and our children.

For almost 70 years, we’ve been in the trenches—

👶 with premature babies
🧠 children with developmental delays
🗣️ speech, learning & behavior challenges
👀 children who are blind or deaf

🧬 genetic conditions, seizures, failure to thrive
❤️ and even children fighting for their lives

These are our children.
And every single day, we fight to help them get better.

That’s what makes us different.

Some were told:
don’t hope.
don’t expect.
don’t believe.

They were told their child was hopeless.

We reject that.
No child is hopeless.

Where there is life, there is hope. ✨
And hope needs a path.

The Pathway to Wellness helps families create environments of possibility, opportunity, stimulation, and love ❤️

April was in a breech position and delivered by C-section. Although she began walking at 12 months, after a vaccination she stopped walking. She could not walk for 6 months.

By age two, she was behind in understanding and speech 🗣️. She began speech therapy.

There were many foods she would not eat. She was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, autism, speech delay, and behavior problems. She did not say her first word until she was four years of age.

A family member gave April’s parents the book What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child 📘 after their own experience. Just before April’s 10th birthday 🎂, her parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course online from their home in Nigeria 🌍.

At that time, April had poor eye contact, she was hyper-auditory and had difficulty following instructions. She could not have a conversation and had frequent temper tantrums. She read aloud at a primary level and wrote some words ✏️.

April had her first appointment just after her 10th birthday. Her home treatment program was strengthened and refined. Her parents carried out the program diligently for the next six months 💪.

After 6 months of home treatment, April is now reading well above her age level 📚✨.
She has begun typing and taking dictation. She has learned to play ten pieces on the piano 🎹 in just one month 🎶.

Her behavior is calm now, and she is doing daily chores independently to contribute to her family 🏡.
Her speaking vocabulary has increased and is much more spontaneous . She is no longer gesturing or crying to communicate.

April is enjoying a wide variety of healthy foods 🥗🍎, she now has improved digestion, and she is sleeping through the night 😴. She is brachiating independently on an overhead ladder and beginning to ride a bicycle for the first time 🚲.

She is expressing much more affection ❤️ and care for others as she improves overall.

A great start! 🌟

We look forward to April’s progress in the next six months.

Diego’s story is living proof that progress is possible, even when the beginning is unimaginably hard 💙

Born prematurely by emergency C-section, he struggled from day one… weighing only 3 lbs at one month and facing seizures by 18 months. With epilepsy, autism, limited speech, and ongoing absence seizures, the road felt overwhelming. By age 7, he had just 10 words and was falling behind his peers.

But his journey didn’t end there ✨

After years on medication that impacted his behavior and appetite, Diego began a consistent home program focused on oxygen enrichment and nutrition. By age 9, he was successfully weaned off anti-convulsants 🙌

Today, Diego is seizure-free, communicating his thoughts, learning at his age level, and thriving 🎹🥋
He’s now enjoying piano lessons and Taekwondo - a true testament to resilience, dedication, and hope.

From the very beginning, Zachary’s journey has been one of strength, resilience, and incredible courage 💙

He entered this world as a healthy baby, but in his very first month, during a routine hernia repair surgery, he experienced cardiac arrest. At 13 months, after a vaccination, the words he had learned suddenly disappeared. By 22 months, he faced an anaphylactic shock from peanuts. His early childhood was filled with frequent, severe respiratory infections and hospital stays.

At age 3, Zachary was diagnosed with speech delay and began therapy. By 8, he was still struggling socially, emotionally, and developmentally, often overwhelmed and frustrated.

Then, at 9 years old, everything began to change ✨

With dedicated care, a focus on nutrition, and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, Zachary has now enjoyed 17 months of perfect health 🙏

Today, he’s thriving.
📚 Reading and math above his age level
⌨️ Writing and typing improving
🗣️ Speech growing stronger every day

But what makes us most proud is his determination. Zachary shows up for himself daily, taking responsibility for his home program, and that commitment is helping him blossom into the amazing young person he is becoming 🌱

His story is proof that progress is possible, hope is powerful, and resilience can change everything ❤️
