How to Help a Child with Asperger's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down Syndrome, Trisomy 21

Asperger's Syndrome Treatment, Cerebral Palsy Treatment, ADHD, Autism, Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)...

Parents from around the world have helped their children with Trisomy 21, commonly referred to as Down syndrome, to move along the path to wellness.

Using the programs developed by The Institutes, children diagnosed with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) have been able to significantly improve their ability to learn, to communicate, to solve problems and, in some cases, to perform at age level or above.

Children with Trisomy 21, also labeled as having Down syndrome, have a pattern of malformations that are pathogenetically related. It was believed that these genetic problems were the complete explanation as to why these children could not function as well as other children. As a result, it has been assumed that they could not be treated or helped.

This is not the case.

The Institutes does not treat the genetic disorder. However, these children are brain-injured as a result of their genetic problems. Those injuries may be mild, moderate, severe, or profound, just as they are in other brain-injured children.

1. The Institutes is a group of nonprofit institutes founded by Glenn Doman in 1955. The Institutes serves children from all over the world. It is internationally known for its pioneering work in child brain development and for its programs to help brain-injured children achieve wellness and well children achieve excellence.

2. 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. 2. 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 children 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.
