You have heard of it.
But do you really understand it?
Most of us have heard of plagiocephaly. Maybe a friend's child had a doc band, or you have worked with a baby who had one.
Yet most of us only have a general understanding of the condition, its causes and concerns. That makes it hard to speak with confidence when a family brings it up.
This mini-course changes that. You start with what plagiocephaly and brachycephaly are, then work through causes, potential impacts if untreated, treatment and prevention.
What changes for you
After the course,
you can:
Understand causes and impacts
Describe what causes both conditions and their potential impacts if untreated.
Know the treatment path
Understand when evaluation and treatment ideally begin, how they are treated, and options like physical therapy.
Help prevent it in your care
Use simple things you can do as a newborn care specialist to help prevent both conditions.
