Praise For: Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development

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.

I decided to take this course after many years working with developmental professionals from chiropractors to speech therapists, occupational therapists, vision therapists, neurofeedback scientists, early interventionists, nutrition coaches, and special education staff and advocates. Every professional has a different knowledge base which creates gaps in knowledge and educating parents. I wanted to hear Dr. Marty and Dr. Nancy’s take on a very much overlooked foundational piece of the puzzle, and what it means for overarching development of the whole child.

Having taken this program, my three takeaways are:

1) Physical appearance is often related to functional differences and compensatory patterns, which impact normal development 2) Common is not the same as normal 3) Trust your instincts and get help even if your professional tells you that development seems on track; you are your child’s best advocate and first teacher.

This course put together many pieces of the puzzle for me, connecting physical restrictions with development in the brain, tongue-tie and global effects down the line in development of the face, teeth, jawline, and particular distortions and movement patterns to notice when observing a child.

I was able to speak with confidence to a family who had opted for a helmet for their child, and had not yet not sought chiropractic care at the time. I was able to explain the importance of addressing the compensatory patterns which arise from the torticollis and plagiocephaly, and describe how the sutures experience a lot of tension and force with helmet use. Further, I was able to link these patterns with visible vision and tracking difficulties, as well as other compromised developmental milestones that were easily identifiable by the parents.

Thank you so much for making this course available to the public! I would love to see it featured through PBS, Gaia, and/or mainstream parenting support websites.

I took this program because I want to stay up on cranial work, and continue to learn.

This overall Peak Potential program is furthering my knowledge, expanding my skill, providing more confidence, and allowing me to interact with other professionals better.

This was an introductory class and available for non-DC’s. It still is great to keep this information at the top of your mind.

One child recently came in with severe plagiocephaly, he was headed for a helmet and I started working on him and it improved significantly, very noticeable to the visual eye. He came in last week and had been fitted for a helmet and the doctor told them it may only be one month of wearing it instead of the 6 months they initially thought because his head had improved so much.

Keep doing what you are doing.

I took this program to expand my detailed knowledge of Pediatric Chiropractic.

There were great Details, Sound Knowledge Base and Professional Presenters.

I know have a more solid foundation and certainty with Pediatrics.

I have been seeing many more babies in practice and getting great results.

Thank you!

I wanted to take this course to learn more about SOT pediatrics.

This course gives a nice refresher of the anatomy and a good introduction to SOT pediatrics and a good basic know-hows to what to look out for.

I would recommend doing this course as an introductory course before doing the 10-month SOT Pediatrics course.

I used the SOT techniques on a 3-month old premature baby and it helped to resolve his torticollis and plagio problems.

It is always a pleasure to do your classes and to learn more about SOT. Thank you very much.
