Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hi, We recently found this group very useful as we were desperately searching round to figure out what was best for our daughter Molly and things were quite confused here in the UK. I therefore wanted to post something about the UK in the hope that others may find this posting in the future. (FYI, Regarding Molly it turns out that her case is quite mild and does not require helmet therapy.) 1. In the UK things are very confused but it is clear that you child should go and see one of the four regional craniofacial centres in Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Oxford. These guys are very negative on helmets but are the real experts. 2. For the helmet point of view, there is only one guy to talk to and that is Dr. Blecher. You can find a link to him on the website and his email is: Joerg.C.Blecher@... 3. There is a guy in Bristol who is doing helmets. I haven't met him and didn't get a helmet off him but my strong feeling is that Dr. Blecher is more experienced and offering a much higher quality soltuion. I hope this is of use and thanks to all for your help up to now. Cheers, Van Buren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Chris: That's so nice of you to put such helpful information on this board for others to reference in the future. Your post will help many desperate parents in the years to come. Thanks so much. I'm glad that MOlly's case is mild & won't require a helmet. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hello My son saw Blecher. He had other things wrong and was sent to Gt Ormond St. He still attends on a regular basis. Love And and Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
