Assessment for the best Plagiocephaly Therapy Choice |
Even if guided by physicians, it is always important for the parent to assess their child’s needs. See “FAQs – For Parents ” tab.
Once you have made the decision to seek an opinion from our Cranial Orthotists, the assessment process to determine whether KidCap is an appropriate treatment for plagiocephaly or a related disorder is quite simple.
You may call our main number, email us or fill out our consultation request form to schedule a visit free of charge.
At the consultation, you will meet with a board certified orthotist who will record anthropometric data (manual measurements) and a detailed patient history. Next, the clinician will use a 3-dimensional laser scanner to create a computerized model of your child’s head. You will be able to see the exact location and magnitude of the asymmetry within 0.5 mm. You will also be presented with a simulation of your child’s appearance after correction from the diagnoses disorder, whether it be plagiocephaly or another related problem.

During the evaluation, you may ask your orthotist any questions or concerns, and you will leave your first visit with complimentary evaluation report and a pamphlet detailing our treatment protocol. More detailed questions and answers regarding the assessment visit may be seen in FAQ – For Parents. |
