    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 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

    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!

    I am a holistic dentist always looking to expand my knowledge. My first granddaughter experienced a tongue tie revision and plagiocephaly treatment.

    My three takeaways: A child’s growth is deeply multifaceted. Childhood conditions and diseases should not be commonplace and should be re-evaluated from a different angle. Normal and common should not be interchangeable terms when talking about childhood development.

    I personally witnessed my granddaughter go through a tongue tie revision and improve her ability to feed. My granddaughter’s head shape changed drastically through PT, body work and chiropractic care and no longer needs a helmet. Her cranial asymmetry went from 5.1 to 0.8, without a helmet!

    I evaluate my pediatric dental patients more thoroughly and ask parents more questions about their infant hood and milestone timelines.

    Thank you for a great course!

    I took the course to broaden my knowledge and better serve my patients.

    The program is a great refresher for the structures of the cranium, it correlates how malpositions of cranial structures can affect neurological development. The course also draws your attention to details that other clinicians miss.

    This course has helped me as a parent know what indicators to look for as possible cranial subluxations in my children. Professionally, it has given me better verbiage to explain how what we see ties into what’s going on the inside.

    I was able to use the skills learned in this course to better explain to a parent how changing their child’s position while both sleeping and playing along with Chiro care could help resolve the flat spot in their baby’s head and help improve their mood. The baby is making great progress in care.

    This course was great groundwork for courses that I plan to take in the future. When reviewing the transcripts, I was able to visualize myself exposing this to parents.
