About
 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.”

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 the early development of well-child.

About The Glenn Doman Method

The Glenn Doman Method, a transformative programme, has been a beacon of hope for thousands of families across the globe. Recognised for over six decades as a nurturing haven for special needs children, this holistic, drug-free approach fosters whole-brain development, enabling all children to blossom to their fullest potential.

At the heart of the Doman Method lies the belief in treating the child and supporting the whole family. Glenn Doman's groundbreaking work has been a ray of light for children facing various neuro-developmental challenges, from autism to Down Syndrome. Through a team of dedicated coaches, parents are guided on their journey to harness the transformative power of Glenn Doman's discoveries, ensuring their children can speak, walk, and learn just like their peers.

The Doman Method transcends a singular treatment or activity; it embodies a holistic system of treatments encompassing physiological, nutritional, physical, sensory, and cognitive realms. This multidimensional approach is possible with a team of expert staff, each specialising in these diverse areas, to effectively impart the treatments to families. Through this well-rounded methodology, families are equipped with a broad spectrum of strategies and interventions, ensuring a comprehensive developmental journey for their children.

Glenn Doman Method: Child Development

Rooted in decades of research and practical application, the Glenn Doman method seeks to nurture every facet of a child's growth, ensuring they are well-rounded and prepared for the challenges of the future.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Physical Development: The method places a strong emphasis on activities like crawling and creeping. These foundational movements not only strengthen a child's physical abilities but also play a crucial role in brain development.
  • Intellectual Development: Through tools like word flashcards and early reading programmes, the Doman Method stimulates a child's intellect, fostering a love for learning from a young age.
  • Social and Emotional Development: The method goes beyond academics, focusing on nurturing emotional intelligence and social skills, ensuring children can navigate interpersonal relationships in different social environments more confidently.

Benefits:

  • Holistic Development: By addressing physical, intellectual, and emotional facets, the Doman Method offers a comprehensive approach, ensuring no area of development is left behind.
  • Preparation for Future Learning: Children nurtured through this method are not just learners; they're eager learners, well-prepared for future academic and life challenges.

Implementation:

  • Daily Activities: A range of activities, from reading sessions to physical exercises, ensure holistic development every day. This method encourages the active participation of family members, fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment for the child.
  • Materials: Essential to the Glenn Doman Method are specific materials and tools, like flashcards and specialised books, designed to optimise the learning experience. You may access a suite of materials with our baby development programme here.

Glenn Doman Method: Mathematics

The Glenn Doman approach to Math is designed to introduce young minds to mathematical concepts in a fun, engaging, and intuitive manner. This method believes in the potential of early learning, making Math an enjoyable and rewarding experience for children from a tender age.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Bit Cards: Central to Glenn Doman’s Math method, bit cards – or flashcards – come with red dots or numerals. These cards visually represent quantities and numerical symbols, aiding young learners in grasping the basic understanding and appreciation of numbers. Through these cards, children are introduced to quantity recognition and fundamental mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, laying a solid foundation for their numerical literacy.
  • Sequential Learning: The method emphasises introducing mathematical concepts in a specific sequence. This structured approach ensures that the foundational knowledge is solid before moving on to more complex ideas, aiding in a smoother learning progression.

Benefits:

  • Cognitive Development: This method significantly aids in honing a child's cognitive abilities. It encourages logical thinking, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of numerical relationships.
  • Foundation for Future Learning: Early exposure to Math sets a strong foundation for future academic success. It cultivates a love for learning and prepares children for more complex mathematical concepts as they progress through their educational journey.

Implementation:

  • Daily Routine: A suggested daily routine could include dedicated time for interacting with bit cards, engaging in counting games, and exploring basic arithmetic operations in a playful manner.
  • Materials: Essential materials for this method include bit cards, simple counting tools like beads or blocks, and engaging, age-appropriate Math books that encourage exploration and discovery. You may access a suite of materials with our baby Math programme here.

Glenn Doman Method: Reading

The Glenn Doman approach to reading is aimed at introducing young children to the joy of reading at an early age. This method not only facilitates language acquisition but also fosters a lifelong love for reading and learning.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Bit Cards: Central to the Doman’s Method, bit cards display whole words in large, bold print, making reading accessible , especially for children with visual challenges. Glenn Doman's approach of separating text from pictures encourages an undistracted focustext, aiding children in visually recognising and associating words with their meanings. These cards act as a gentle bridge to the world of reading, making the process enjoyable and intuitive.
  • Whole Word Approach: Unlike conventional methods that start with individual letters or phonics, Glenn Doman’s approach emphasises teaching whole words. This approach allows children to grasp the meaning and context of words early on, promoting a more natural and holistic understanding of language.
  • Frequent Short Sessions: The Doman Method advocates for brief, frequent reading sessions lasting less than 10 seconds. With words shown up to 15 times daily, this approach keeps young learners engaged and steadily progressing in their reading journey.

Benefits:

  • Language Acquisition: The method facilitates faster and more natural language acquisition, providing a strong foundation for effective communication.
  • Cognitive Development: Early reading significantly impacts a child's cognitive abilities, enhancing their comprehension, concentration, and analytical skills.
  • Love for Reading: Cultivating a love for reading early on sets the stage for a lifelong journey of learning and discovery.

Implementation:

  • Daily Routine: A suggested daily routine could include interactive reading sessions using bit cards, exploring picture books together, and gradually introducing new words and phrases.
  • Progression: Start with simple words, gradually moving to phrases, then to sentences, and eventually to stories. This progressive approach allows children to build confidence and fluency in reading, nurturing their ability to comprehend and enjoy the written word.
  • Materials: Essential materials include bit cards, age-appropriate picture books, and other engaging reading resources that spark a child's interest. You may access a suite of Glenn Doman materials with our baby reading programme here.
