Treatment for Brain Injury and The Doman Method®

Children with Brain Injuries Have Hope

The Doman Method is perhaps most famous for helping adults and children diagnosed with brain injury or brain damage. Glenn Doman wrote the book “What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child” in 1973.

For decades, the Doman Method® has been used with individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injury during or after birth, as well as strokes. The brain injury might have occurred later in life due to an accident or due to head trauma. When the brain is damaged, the individual can have a range of symptoms as a result.

Symptoms of brain injury can include speech problems, visual impairment, auditory issues, motor and mobility problems, cognitive difficulties and social/emotional problems. As per the report of Brain Injury Association of America, more than 5.3 million people in the USA are living with a brain injury-related disability.

Children diagnosed with brain injury are not hopeless. In fact, they have shown great potential for improvement with a home-based program of stimulation and activity that improves brain development. The human brain is able to change and rewire — this process is called neuroplasticity. The Doman Method® Program has been designed to help the brain develop through specifically designed activities.

Nearly all children improve on a home program, and their symptoms reduce, or at times, disappear. Our goal for each and every individual with brain injury is wellness — well enough to look and function like everyone else, and succeed and be happy in life.

If you have a child or loved one diagnosed with a stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) or brain damage, you can begin the Doman Method program by scheduling an appointment at Doman International today.
