Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development
Have you ever noticed something developmentally different about a child but your concerns fell on deaf ears? It is not until the situation becomes obvious that proper intervention is recommended. Knowing before the situation or condition escalates is paramount to achieving a more efficient, less stressful (both to the child and family) resolution.
It is important to note that these developmental “glitches”, while they may be common, are not normal and can affect proper neurological development (milestones, primal reflexes, and pre-programmed feedback loops). They can also manifest as only mild symptoms early in life and progress to more severe ones as the child reaches age 4 or 5.
Much has been written about milestones and primitive reflexes and their effect on developmental potential. What we are offering to you is the missing link to optimal childhood development – the effects of cranial and facial distortions on human potential.
In this online program Drs. Rosen and Watson will walk you through an understanding of normal childhood growth and development and the structural distortion patterns to look for that may be signs of developmental challenges.

✓ What you as a parent or health care provider can do when you suspect something is wrong

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.

I enrolled in this course to help me identify cranial facial distortions and patterns more effectively and to be able to explain to parents why they should seek additional consultation.
My three takeaways are:
It’s important to understand the relationship between structure and function.
Parents should trust their instincts and seek professional help if concerned.
The first year of life is so important for neurological development.
I will look at my clients differently and try to match structure with function more successfully.I gave a parent specific examples of cranial facial distortions: one eye bigger, ears sitting lower, head tilted and referred.
This was a lot of valuable information. I wish you could have shown many case studies all throughout but especially in the later weeks of actual patients and pointed out the distortion patterns you see, what they mean, and what you would do about it. It is also helpful to see a patient from initial consultation to completion of care.

I took this course to work on my communication skills for those that are not Chiropractors.
I have a better way to communicate with parents and other providers about what we do.
Any time I can better serve my community, I consider that a win
I have more effective communication coupled with giving parents a copy of ‘Its All in the Head’
Thank you for this course.
