Bio, Presentation Descriptions, and Speaking Schedule

	Bob Doman traces NACD’s unique approach to neurological development and education back to his own childhood, when his father, Robert Doman, MD, immersed him in the dialectic of child development and rehabilitation. His father’s work in brain injury rehabilitation fascinated Bob and led him to the University of Dubuque, where he received a B.A. in Psychology, and on to Temple University to attend graduate school. Frustrated by the limited opportunities being provided for children with special needs, and the very limited perspectives relative to their potential, he began cultivating ideas that would soon revolutionize the field. By the age of 23, his innovative techniques as a teacher for United Cerebral Palsy triggered a parent revolution that resulted in his becoming Clinical Director of United Cerebral Palsy’s school and clinic, where he led the educational and therapeutic staff of the entire agency. By the early 1970s, Bob had designed and supervised a number of state and federal model programs for multi-handicapped children. He also served in many capacities, including: • Director of the Visual-Motor Testing and Training Center • Educational Director of the Delacato-Doman Autistic Unit • Educational Director of the Center for Neurological Rehabilitation Within a few years, he had also worked in Spain and Israel designing neurodevelopmental programs for: • The TIKVA organization in Israel • The APALCE organization in the Canary Islands and Barcelona, Spain By the time Bob founded NACD in 1979, he had worked side-by-side with some of the greatest innovators in the fields of neurology, physical therapy, vision therapy, psychology and child development. Over the years, many thousands of parents and children have benefited from Bob Doman’s educational and therapeutic techniques through his seminars, audio programs, and personal evaluation and program design. The methods he cultivated from conception through proven maturation allow today’s children and adults to advance their learning capacity and thinking skills by developing the brain’s sequential processing ability. Working directly with individuals who range from the severely challenged to the highly advanced, Bob helps people all over the world overcome the physical and cognitive effects of brain injuries, developmental delays, learning disorders, behavior problems and other challenges, and helps those with typical and accelerated abilities function at even higher, more efficient levels. In the 1990s, Bob created a software program designed to increase auditory/visual sequential processing and working memory in children and adults. He also was part of the team that created the developmental auditory training program The Listening Program. Currently, NACD is producing under Bob’s direction a new software program incorporating his latest innovations in sequential processing, with versions being designed for children, adults and the elderly. The new program, called Simply Smarter, will provide cutting-edge technology for increasing short-term memory and visual/auditory sequential processing. Simply Smarter is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2006. For the past thirty years, Bob Doman and NACD have applied his neurodevelopmental approach to evaluating and designing individualized programs for 30,000 clients within the US and abroad, resulting in an impressive record of outstanding success stories. Numerous commendations and a demand from those who have witnessed NACD’s results have inspired Bob Doman to create NACD’s Simply Smarter Project 9 +/- 2 – an international humanitarian research and development project designed to elevate the learning capacity and thinking skills of individuals world-wide. Today, Bob continues to be a leading innovator in neurodevelopmental treatment strategies. As an educator and developmentalist, he enhances the strengths and works to overcome the challenges of every individual he sees for evaluation and treatment. Through the National Academy for Child Development (a nonprofit entity that gathers, evaluates and disseminates information relative to neurological development and education), Bob directs efforts in pioneering the latest methods for overcoming developmental inefficiencies and achieving peak mental performance in people of all ages. An unwavering champion of the innate potential within every human being, Bob Doman continues to carry a full caseload of individual clients and their families. Through the NACD website, the Journal of the National Academy of Child Development, his seminars and public speaking engagements, he enlightens parents, educators, physicians, and public leaders in the United States and around the world about the unsurpassed advantages of applying the neurodevelopmental approach to child development, rehabilitation, and accelerated learning.

NACD’s new Simply Smarter software is specifically designed to increase auditory and visual sequential processing. A question and answer session follows on teaching techniques teachers and parents can use to increase learning capacity, short-term memory and working memory (Return to Presentation List) Beyond Labels: How Neurological Organization Affects Every Student’s Learning Style, Behavior and Interpersonal Relationships. In this lecture, NACD discusses the gifted child in the context of neurological development. We explain how “giftedness” often occurs in one area of development as a compensation for neurological inefficiencies in another. We talk of the importance of helping children achieve their full potential in all areas of development, and how the neurological system must be assessed and inefficiencies addressed in order to achieve that goal (Return to Presentation List)
