DOC BAND CLINICIANS' TRAINING

[Guest guest]

A couple of our parents have suggested there may be some confusion

about the training level of Clinicians in DOC Band Centers.

Cranial Technologies selectively hires Registered and Licensed

Physical and Occupational Therapists. All of them have Bachelor

Degrees and many of them actually have Masters Degrees. They are also

trained in Pediatrics, i.e. the total care of the infant. When hired

by Cranial Technologies, and before they are allowed to treat DOC

Band Patients, they are given 5 weeks of intense training at one of

our national Clinicis. This training includes clinicial as well as

classroom work in all aspects of plagiocephaly, facial asymmetry,

neck involvement, and the assessment of developmental delays in

infants.

Our clinicians also work in close collaboration with the Craniofacial

Surgeons and Pediatric Neurosurgeons in their communities, which

provides a setting for exchange of professional and clinical

information as well as higher level learning.

By following these training protocols, Cranial Technologies ensures

that each child treated across the nation receives the same level of

care.

I hope this information is helpful.
