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

Dr. Maybelle Heng
The main purpose of taking this class is to understand more about cranial distortion and the impact on childhood development. Also I hope to learn more about the normal development of an infant through the early years. What to look for in terms of the abnormality.
That 90% of the brain cells are formed during the first year and the adult myelination is present by the end of the second year. That’s quite mind blowing to me. That the first 6 years of the childhood programming will pretty much affect that child for the rest of his or her life. It makes me reflect on my own and my siblings’ childhood. That common abnormal in child cranial distortion should not be overlooked or brushed off as normal.
The knowledge that I know now will impact how I will look for my own child in the future and professionally it gives me more confidence to advise clients that just have their own child about their development.
Checking and explaining to my new mom and the information about her child development was really appreciated by her. She commented that her pediatric wasn’t as thorough as me. And as a result, she refers more clients in.
Thank you so much for taking time putting this course together. The information is really cool and I don’t see it in other places.

I love everything Dr. Rosen offers, and this topic was especially interesting to me. We do extensive work in my clinic with complex kids, tongue ties and primitive reflexes. Just hoping to learn even more.
This is a nice introduction to cranial distortions. Excellent explanation of primitive reflexes Important info on plagiocephaly and how to measure and classify it.
This program has given me some additional exam points to include.
We have a complete TOTs program which also ends up including facial asymmetries, torticollis, plagiocephaly, etc. It’s important to help parents see how it’s all connected.
Always such great information. Thank you!

This course was recommended to me by my friend and colleague. I was hoping to learn the causes of cranial facial distortions and their impact on development.
My three takeaways are: CSF buildup and its effect, common is not normal, and the effects of compensations that form when development is abnormal
This course has reminded me and made me more aware of how birth/development can be impacted by tension and other restrictions
I have been able to apply this info to some of my cases. A student with severe sensory aversions, toe walking and low tone has a history of traumatic birth and vacuum delivery. It has been hard to get parents to follow through with cranial work, but I hope this course will have helped me explain the rationale better so they can understand.
Thank you! I loved the doctor shares the most and also the Facebook page was interesting too!

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 program as a refresher on information.
This course is easy to complete, easy to understand and good information. This was a good review.
I thought things were explained well.
