    I wanted to learn what signs to look for in infants that may tip off that there are some cranial imbalances that need to be addressed

    I’d say one would be to observe, observe, observe – notice details in the face, skull, etc. The other would be that there are things that can be addressed at home if mild, such as placing toys on the restricted side in the instance of torticollis, for example. Third would be the innate intelligence of the body mindset toward potential and growth – I think this is the accurate frame to convey this to patients.

    Gave useful information so parents can know when to intervene early to put kids on the best trajectory of potential/development.

    I took this program to learn more about tongue-ties and cranial distortions so I can offer more sound information to parents. To help babies and parents enjoy the first months together.

    My three takeaways:

    Primitive reflexes are very important and need to be tested.
    Multi-discipline is very important when dealing with TOTs.
    Earlier is the best, primary up to 6 weeks.
    This program has left me on the same quest of why I took the class to find out what to do with these children and how to change parents’ perceptions.

    I think this is a good overview class if you haven’t had any cranial education.

    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 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 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
