With the implementation of the back to sleep program by the American Academy of Pediatrics, therapists are noting an increased incidence of children with positional torticollis and plagiocephaly (flattening of the head). This program presents guidelines for successful examination and progression of treatment and discharge for patients with torticollis. Guidelines incorporate current evidence and accepted treatment strategies. Short video case presentations will demonstrate treatment techniques followed by discussion. Includes 3 hours of home study prior to the course. 

This course content was developed by Pediatric Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital for Special Surgery.

This course will take the therapist through the life cycle and normal development of an infant in a NICU setting. It will cover assessment of the high risk infant as well as the implementation of various treatment techniques based on evaluative findings. A portion will be dedicated to infant follow-up and identification of emerging disabilities. The philosophy of the course is to provide therapy with a family centered and developmental care approach in order to maximize outcomes when treating this specialized population. For those who desire to start a therapy program, or who recognize the need for change in existing programs, the course will conclude with a section on understanding staff dynamics and suggestions on how to facilitate teamwork in their own nurseries.
