Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Although I haven't gone there and have no personal experience with them, I have heard not so good things about Cincinnati Children's and helmet therapy there. Check the CAPPS website - plagio contacts. There is a contact in the Cincy area named a who went there and then decided to go to Chicago for the DOC band. Just my two cents worth! Good Luck to you.
