. CHILDREN OF HOPE.,, 2008. DOMAN 
Raymundo Veras is a well known doctor in Brazil and around the world. Founder of the Institute Veras, the first stage of professional life was dedicated to ophthalmology, but a serious accident that overturned was squarely in the world of cerebral palsy looking for ways to save the life of your child. It came to Philadelphia, the Institute for the Development of Human Potential, where he met Glenn Doman and his work with children cerebrolesos.
After a period of great efforts achieved their goal, not only saved the life of his son, but managed to give a quality of life would have been unthinkable for practitioners of traditional medicine in those days and would be even today.
In 1963 he was in a compromising situation when her book came to him begging him to do something for her daughter. Veras said he would help, convinced that the girl was parlítica brain, but it turned out that the child had Down syndrome. Both Veras as Doman, then were convinced that these children had nothing to do with the brain injured and that therefore nothing could be done for them.
Noting the expression of this man, Veras was reminded himself five years ago, when he received the diagnosis free of hope on the possibility of his son, and was helpless before the power failure to offer assistance to their employees and friend. For muddle through undertook to see and evaluate the child and once I had done gave parents a scheduling program and brain stimulation as did patients with cerebral palsy. Veras really just wanted to comfort parents, to have them engaged and excited and to avoid as far as possible, because he it was painful to deal with the problem he considered there was no solution.
Meanwhile, Veras trying to gain time to learn and study everything you can about Trisomy 21. His disappointment was great to discover that there was hardly anything published about the subject, which is almost completely unknown.
But this disappointment would soon be overshadowed by the surprise to see that the parents of Norma, which was the name the girl, showed ever-increasing joy and gratitude in their encounters with the doctor. Not only were enthusiastic, but after taking the recommended programs intense and difficult, calling for more ... You see, without understanding very well what was happening, and not have anything to recommend to parents, were asked to fold what they were doing. They accepted without even blinking ...

so glad these parents soon began to lead to other parents of children like Norma to the Institutes Veras and they also used the same program. This is a very difficult, often requires 10, sometimes 14 hours a day of stimulation, creeping, crawling ... It's hard work, but the children get better. These are concrete data that gives us Raymundo Veras with respect to this improvement:
- Their tongues are removed into the mouth 
-
mouths shut - your breathing becomes normal
- are more present
- improves muscle tone
- seem increasingly
Mongoloid - seem increasingly
children - seem increasingly "hopeless"
- are becoming more "hope"
In 1970, after eight years of therapy, Norma Nunes, down syndrome, is a normal girl and enters a normal school to continue their studies.
"... I do not think things have to be left as they are. Quadriplegics do not think they have to become good children quadriplegics or cerebrolesos have to become adults cerebrolesos.
do not think the goal is just to become good Mongoloid Mongoloid. Not only think it's a fair goal, but I think is a vile goal. Is a negative goal threat to the child because it has more power to worsen conditions for improvement.
Mongoloid
When a child is born, is not far behind in development compared to 
centers or children, but not developed as fast as the others, with the passing months and years their conditions worsen more and more.
Now, it's fair to ask: Does the Mongoloid develops more slowly than other children because it can not develop at the same speed or because we do not expect me to? "R. Veras.
All children need a stimuli-rich environment for its development. An excellent neurological environment is offered by the children excellent opportunities to see, hear, feel, desgustar, smell and move. Children with Down syndrome need a stimulating environment accelerated because they need more stimulation than those other children. This rich and intense environment should be possible to start the day the child is born. As in all cases, the first years of life of these children are the most important since it is in these years learning and develops more rapidly than the rest of his life.
"When the parents of a mongoloid child believe that one day will become normal and begin to treat it like other children, then their use will be likely to become much larger. The goal for our Mongoloid is normal and nothing less.
Mongoloid Children are not stupid! There are special! cerebrolesos are children who need better environments and better stimulation. They should not put them aside, out of sight and mind. No mongoloid children but many have the potential to normal, but often have the potential of a genius. Many of my mongoloid read faster and better than normal children, many are better at math and learn more quickly than normal, so do not want to hear about my mongoloid enrolled in classes "special" unless it means for children above. "
would like to thank an anonymous reader who made me reflect and be aware of the importance of using the correct terminology in regard to children Down syndrome is concerned. First of all I would like to apologize to all readers who may be offended by the term "Mongoloid" used frequently in the text. I know it's a name into disuse and understand that the reason for its neglect is the fact that there is a precise term from the standpoint of medical or scientific, and involve any derogatory connotations. If I keep the term in this post is because it is direct quotes from the book of Raymundo Veras "Children of dreams, children of hope", which unfortunately is not yet translated into our language. I read a pretranslation low quality, which extracted the emphasis of this entry and the characteristics of Down syndrome children ennunciadas therein. Raymundo Veras in favor say that even though the term "Mongoloid" almost constantly in his book, is infinitely respectful and loving these children unconditionally. That fact has dedicated his life to working with them and improve their situation as much as possible. That also has the merit of having achieved great success in his endeavor. Regarding the use of the term "Mongoloid" is also important to note that the book was written in 1975, which indicates the reason for the use of the term, at that time was common. Finally, I would include another part of the work of Raymundo Veras I think gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the term "down syndrome" was not their preferred when referring to it: "... in 1865 a doctor named Lansdon Down observed these children and made a list of things that are different ... We read that the contribution of Down in the diagnosis of problme has meant significant progress and that's why these children bear his name. Not to be disrespectful, but I do not understand how their contribution is significant progress. What he offered was not a diagnosis but simply another label ... "Down Syndrome" is not a diagnósitco, is the description of symptoms or consequences of a medical problem. I have found that Down has done nothing to cure these children, was only a list of things that did not work in them. "
This is in defense of Raymundo Veras and use of the term" Mongoloid. "As my possible personal contribution (always quoting experts in the subject since I'm not), do not justify the use of the term, so I will simply accepted the names of "down syndrome" and "trisomic.
