title: Neurodevelopmental rehabilitation according to Glenn Doman (the Philadelphia Neurodevelopment Method).
abstract: Neurodevelopmental rehabilitation methods for children with nonprogressive brain injury began to take shape in the late 1940s in the US and Europe. One of the most important centers continuously involved in promoting neurodevelopmental concepts is the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential. The method of child neurodevelopment is based on the theory of neurological organization. In practice this global method seeks to provide the child's brain with ordered information suitable for his or her present level of development, with increasing duration, frequency, and intensity. As is the case with other rehabilitation methods, the theoretical foundations and clinical efficacy of these rehabilitation techniques have not yet been adequately documented, which has been pointed out by the numerous critics of these methods.
