The Glen Doman Method

Glen Doman is the founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP). The Institutes are famous for their pioneering work with brain-injured children and for their work in early development.

This method suggests that conventional education fails to exploit the young child's increasing desire for knowledge and vast ability to learn. Children can learn to read words presented in large, bright letters. The method comes in the form of flashcards with special guidelines for parents. It can be started from 10 months onwards, although 18months is the optimal age.
