The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential

We educate parents in the treatment, physical and social wellness of special needs and well children
(371)

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 c

hildren 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.

Sara was diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy shortly after her birth.
In the first two years of her life, she had difficulty sitting and could not move. Parents were told by specialists she would never improve.

Mother writes “We felt deep down in our hearts that we could do something for our daughter”.

When Sara was 10 years old, her parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-injured Child course and said, “We understood that in the near future Sara’s life could be much better.” At age 12, Sara had her first appointment at The Institutes and shortly after she began crawling for the first time in her life. At 14, Sara began walking independently under an overhead ladder without help from anyone for the first time in her life.

Sara has since graduated from high school with excellent grades. She is a speed reader in four languages, at a university level. She is a poet, and an exceptional artist.

Update:

Sara has been in perfect health for 9 years. She can walk independently at home and is now swimming successfully. She has joined a local band and performs with them as the drummer. She is a great events planner; she organizes monthly concerts of her band and recently organized an event for a local charity. She has applied for a position in the library as she continues to be an avid reader.

Sara continues to paint, one of her paintings was featured in an artist’s magazine, selected among many competitors. She presented her sixth art exhibition last November in Tuscany near Florence. Her paintings are popular and to sell well. Sara is considering taking over for her fine arts instructor upon his retirement. Sara has many interests and is always finding new opportunities - she is unstoppable!

Sara comments: “The best thing about The Institutes program is seeing significant changes in my mobility and achieving important results in my social and intellectual life.”

As an infant, Heather struggled with feeding and was an irritable baby. At 5 months, she had her first seizure and was diagnosed with infantile spasms and Dandy Walker Syndrome. She was started on medication.

Heather’s overall development was delayed. At 16 months, her Mother attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course. Heather had poor vision and hearing; she did not respond to her name. She was unable to move, and she could not use her hands. She continued to have seizures despite being on anti-convulsant medication.

Heather was almost three years old at her first appointment, 6 months later she was seeing and hearing. She was even enjoying reading homemade books and saying her first words. She had begun to crawl. She even admired herself in the mirror. At that time, she had not had a seizure for one year, after having 20 to 30 seizures a day.

Today, Heather is almost four years old. She is working now towards creeping. She is understanding above her age level. She is reading independently with content from the encyclopedia, and she is enjoying math.

Heather has a big family supporting her every step of the way - looking forward to much more to come!

Before the end of the course, our parents learn how to evaluate their child. Parents learn what a real diagnosis needs to be and why the symptomatic label their child was given is not a diagnosis.

Parents then learn how to create an effective home program to significantly improve mobility, intellectual growth, social growth, and health. It is a comprehensive program that parents can do at home.

Course is presenting in English & Spanish

Sometimes the very first question our parents ask is what makes us different?

There are so many ways to answer this question that it sometimes stops us in our tracks.
What does make us different? Our courses are different; everyone says so and they are correct but why are they different?

We have been in the trenches nose-to-nose with children who ranged from comatose - on the edge of life and death, children who are blind and deaf and paralyzed, children who are hyperactive and disorganized, children whose development is slow, children with speech problems, behavior problems, reading problems, and learning problems. Babies who were premature and at risk, children with seizures, genetic problems, failure-to-thrive children, children who are sick more days than they are well. These are our children, and we have been fighting for them and helping them to get better every day for almost 70 years.

Mom had a healthy pregnancy and uncomplicated labor and delivery, however, 36 hours after Judah’s birth he was in distress with a severe onset of hypoglycemia which led to multiple cardiac arrests requiring resuscitation.

He was diagnosed with severe hypoxic ischemic brain injury. He was treated with numerous rounds of antibiotics before being discharged a month later.
As Judah struggled developmentally, his chiropractor recommended the book “What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child”.

Judah was six months old when his parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course. By then, he had been diagnosed as cortically blind, deaf, and insensate. He was unable to move or use his hands.

Following the course, Judah’s parents and his brothers and sister began a sensory stimulation program with the maximum opportunity to move. Mother enhanced her own diet for Judah’s breastfeeding.

At age 17 months, Judah had his first appointment at The Institutes. His evaluation showed he was no longer blind, deaf, insensate or unable to move. He was able to see and smile back at his family members. He was hearing all the sounds in the household and beginning to understand his name and other familiar words. He had become ticklish and had developed a good range of motion in his arms and legs. He was using his hands to grab everything around him.

Judah is on his way, his family is enthusiastic about his future now, and so are we!

Khai was born three months prematurely and spent the first five months in neonatal intensive care with oxygen and being tube fed because he had an intraventricular hemorrhage.

After discharge, he was on oxygen at home for another five months. At one year of age, he was not yet walking or talking, and he was vomiting throughout the day with reflux.

His diagnoses were a thin corpus callosum, retinopathy of prematurity, failure to thrive, hydrocephaly, and cerebral palsy.

Khai’s parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course and after three months of treatment at home he stopped needing medication for reflux, he started to walk under an overhead ladder, and he had dozens of words of speech.

At age two, he began to read his first words. At three, Khai was well above his peers intellectually. He was reading books and enjoying advanced mathematics - learning about the Pythagorean theorem and quadratic equations.

His language had exploded, he was adding vocabulary daily, and expressing himself well in paragraphs. He was beginning to write. To improve his balance and coordination, he was walking independently on an overhead ladder 400 meters daily.

Update: Khai just celebrated his sixth birthday. He is reading new books from the library every week. His favorite subjects continue to be math and science. He has recently studied the Periodic Table, and he is doing math at the sixth-grade level - solving equations in his head. He is beginning to speak French, his third language. In Khai’s free time, he enjoys conducting scientific experiments, writing about them, and teaching others. He has begun walking independently. The “Little Professor” continues to astonish and amaze all who know him.

After a difficult labor and delivery, Vid appeared healthy at birth. However, by two months of age, he began showing delay in his development. Vid was a late walker and talker.

Once he entered school, he had trouble following instructions and retaining information, he struggled to read and do math.

By age 9, he was still only in the 2nd grade. At that time his parents attended the What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child course. His mother writes “It was a great pleasure to attend the course, it feels to the parents like a family, the support we receive and the feeling of not being alone in this.”

Guided by his parents, Vid embarked on a good home treatment program based on everything his parents had learned.

One year later, Mom writes again, “We have had such success with Vid! This program changed the trajectory of his life, and I am forever grateful! Vid worked on the program every day, and it has been showing a lot in school and in his behavior. A new teacher took over his class in February and after a month she said that the reports from last year and how she sees him are widely apart. He is actively participating in the class, raising his hand and answering questions correctly. She said he is very attentive in his schoolwork, he understands and remembers what they were supposed to do and organizes himself to do it (it wasn't so last year). He checks with her if he doesn't understand something or finish the task (he is communicative) and tries to find a way to do so. He has more self-esteem; he is proud of himself and so are we! His younger brother is also benefiting from the program, he is doing the brachiation, too, as this has become a beloved activity in our house.”

Well done, Vid! Keep up the good work we hope to meet you someday!
