I'm not sure where to begin for this review. I read all of Glenn Doman's other books. I was impressed. I (kind of) started Callie on the programs. She loved them, but I wasn't consistent enough. This book, however,is why he wrote the other books. The research behind this book, is, well, phenomenal in my mind. It is quite literally life changing. Recently we started therapy with a woman who was trained under Glenn Doman. She was trained at his Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential in P...more

I read this book while on the waiting list to take my developmentally disabled baby to Glenn Doman's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. A chiropractor had previously told us to read his Teach Your Baby to Read, which prompted me to contact the Institutes and then apply.
We were on the Institutes' Intensive Program for four years, from 1986 to 1990, during which time my immobile son became a walker and made other impressive gains, and I later wrote about the experience in a memoir...more

This book seems to be an introduction to the Doman method of physical therapy with a sales pitch for the program at the Institutes. There were some ideas that were good from this book. I'm very excited to try a couple of them with my child. However, most of the examples were not applicable to me, and some were quite extreme. I wouldn't recommend anyone try the entire method with a child. It seems harmful. This isn't a book that will give you a program to use on your brain-injured child, but it d...more
This is the 2nd book to change my life. I initially wasn't sure whether to get the book as the title didn't seem relevant to me. But after meeting Glenn Doman in person, I wanted to know more about him. Boy, am I glad I did. This book chronicles the amazing journey he took to discover cutting-edge brain development facts, not through conventional means but being surrounded by a passionate team of like-minded gamechangers who were passionately working hands-on every waking moment with brain-injur...more
Wonderful book! My son had a severe brain bleed after birth and he as at risk for developmental delays and problems. This book is a must-read for anyone caring for someone - child or adult - with any kind of brain injury. The work that Doman and the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential are doing is miraculous. They give solid reasons for parents and caretakers of the brain injured to hope and work to help the ones they love recover from brain injury. Amazing. Anyone interested in ho...more

Great book on your journey to help your disabled child. Without The Better Baby Institute, I would never have been able to get my son to walk. Their exercises were invaluable. The specialists were surprised. This book does not promise miracles, but it will help you reach more of your child's potential.
If you read this book you should also read the AMA disclosure on the Doman Method, or the wikipedia page about the Institute. There is apparently nothing backing up his theory, and there is a lit of guilting parents, in the book as well.
Whew! Finally finished. Not that the book wasn't interesting, just that I have been so busy. I was slightly disappointed that it held little practical advice, but I think those must be in his other books. This book was more of an overview of what can be done and the history behind it all.
Informative,gave me alot to think about.
Great book, that started us on the path to become our child's therapist!
A must read for all parants who have a child with additional needs!

Book written in a casual, narrative style that often clashes with its academic content. The message, however, is impressive. Learned a lot about the brain body connection.
