Glenn Doman
Glenn Doman founded the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) in 1955, internationally known for its pioneering work in child brain development.
The purpose of giving a child encyclopedic knowledge is not to make Nobel Prize winners, or concert violinists, or Olympic stars, or geniuses of any sort. It is to give them unlimited options in life.”

His Influence
It is difficult to know if Glenn Doman and The Institutes are more famous for their pioneering work with brain-injured children or for their work in early development for well children.
Glenn Doman dealt intimately with more than twenty-five thousand families over a period of fifty years. He strongly influenced millions of families through the book What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child, and through the creation of the groundbreaking Gentle Revolution Series of books and materials that teach parents how to teach their babies at home.
Glenn Doman lived with, studied, or worked with children in more than one hundred nations, ranging from the most civilized to the most primitive. He conducted expeditions to study pre-Stone Age children in Brazil’s Mato Grosso, Bush children in the Kalahari Desert, and Inuit children in the Arctic. He also studied children in the world’s major cities, from Johannesburg to Moscow, and from London to Tokyo.

His Team
Glenn always dreamed that The Institutes would become a teaching center for parents and professionals from all over the world – and so we are today. We are learning every day better ways to teach, better ways to provide stimulation and opportunity, and better ways to reach out to our parents to offer our help when they need it.
All over the world, there are dedicated staff, helping parents to benefit from The Institutes work. By giving greatly of their time and effort, the international staff introduces parents to The Institutes through the Founder, Glenn Doman, and his team.
