Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Hear directly from our students about the benefits of our program.-

Dr. Brian Douts
I took this program for further understanding of infant health issues and ways chiropractors can adjust or help them.
It was a great review of infant anatomy and health problems infants may have.
It has refreshed me on the anatomy of infant development and I have learned more about infant health problems and signs to look for and I have more certainty in evaluating infants for cranial problems.

I took it to gain more knowledge on specific facial patterns I see on the daily to help me identify what’s going on better. It was more entry level than I thought, but I gained some basics that will help me relate to parents.
This is a general course that gives you a broad awareness of cranial distortions and why is important. It’s given me some tools, but I’m going to build on this through working through some of the previous course material to help me correct the distortions I see on the table
I would say I’m more show and tell on the table with parents and can help them understand the importance of what I’m seeing that is often not why the parent brought their child in, but relates to it so much. I really enjoy learning this work.

I took this course because my daughter took a fall at the playground and landed on her face. Her right orbit hit the edge of a steel structure. Since then I noticed asymmetries in her face that I wanted to know how to treat.
I will definitely be sharing this program with my colleagues because there is a small window in which chiropractors can bring on great change in a child’s nervous system development. Primitive reflexes and milestones are the building blocks to a child’s nervous system development and helping to identify and help integrate these will greatly help children develop properly. Identifying tongue ties and informing parents on their options for care is so incredibly important in helping them navigate their infant’s first year of life.
It gave me tools to assess retained reflexes in my kids as well as my patients.
I looked for retained spinal Galant reflex in a child who was said to be disruptive in school and had too many meltdowns according to his mom. He was positive for the retained reflex. I treated him during his adjustment sessions and also gave mom more exercises to do at home and she said his behavior improved.
I have always loved your seminars and content. I just wish the material was presented a bit more slowly. It’s like drinking from a fire hose at times. The slides and transcripts are very helpful. Reading from the teleprompter, not so much. Overall it was a wonderful course. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

I wanted to better ‘see’ cranial distortions and understand the factors contributing in a particular presentation. I wanted to better understand the chiropractic lens. I feel chiropractic care can be an important care component for my clients with oral motor, speech and feeding issues. I wanted to have a better understanding of which clients would benefit the most. Also I wanted to better explain my rationale for suggesting the pursue chiropractic care
Gives a good understanding of the various systems which could be contributing to cranial facial distortions. Stress the importance of early intervention when warranted. Presented a case for professional intervention but also a worthy set of exercises which are easily integrated into daily routines and which impact growth and development
I entered the course with a fairly good understanding of the systems reviewed but it was helpful to get a better understanding of the chiropractic lens.
Thanks for offering this class to parents and related professionals. I am an SLP who enjoys collaboration with local chiropractors.

Dr. Susan Waletkus
I took this program for basic infant assessment.
The course had interesting content with short classes and timely call to actions. It is recorded, so the student can watch over and over again.
It was a great review and I was able to implement it immediately.
Thank you
