Boyce D. H. Doman (founder)

Boyce D. H. Doman was an American educator and founder of the Doman-Delacato technique, a method aimed at helping children with neurological conditions, including developmental delays and brain injuries. His approach focuses on stimulating the nervous system through specific physical activities to promote neurological reorganization and functional improvements. Doman believed that the brain's plasticity allows it to rewire itself with targeted exercises, helping children develop skills they might not initially attain. His work has influenced therapeutic practices for addressing developmental challenges, emphasizing an individualized, activity-based approach to facilitating neurodevelopment and recovery.
