Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 here is a copy and paste of an old email beck Hi there.. I live in Burlington, Ont. and my son also has plagio. Firstly, I am not aware of any doc band clinic in Toronto. As far as I know, the closest one in Canada is Calgary. My son is recieving helmet therapy through the Hosp. for Sick Kids. He was first assessed through the Cranial Facial Dept. at HSC by Dr. after my ped. made the referral for us. The # is (416) 813 6013. Dr. confirmed what we already knew....he had moderate plagio. Afterwards, he was prescribed a helmet and sent to the Othotics Dept. (at HSC). He is being monitored by Art Street (416) 813 7073. Art is the orthotist who casted my son for his helmet. I find him to be very informed on the subject of plagio. The helmet cost is $550 and was covered by my insurance. (not OHIP). Depending on the age of your twins...you should see excellent correction. My son was almost 9 mo when he started and we have seen some good correction thus far. My advise for you is to get your dr. to make a referral to sick kids as quickly as you can. If you have any other questions, you can email me directly at dsmith001@.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
