Re: Re: how often are your kids seen by orthotist?

I go to CT and they started me out at every week but then after about a month the technician said that she's had enough time to see how fast my son's head is growing so now I can come every other week. My son started at 7.5 months (6.25 corrected) and he's been in the band for 8 weeks now. I like that they take the time to understand the child's growth before moving them to every other week. Also, a younger child may need to go every week for a bit longer since their heads grow faster. As a child gets older the head growth slows.

CT seems to have a stricter protocol for seeing kids. 1 to 2 weeksdepending on age. I haven't noticed starband parents going weekly. Wewent every 2 weeks at first (started at 5 mo) but after 6.5 mo oldthey switched to every 3 weeks. Often we had to go a little earlybecause she needed an adjustment sooner.-christinesydney 2 yrs starband grad>> I was told by CT that they would be seeing my son aon a weekly basis. > I was told at the Starband provider that he would be seen every 2 > weeks, possibly three depending on growth.
