Get really good at assessing the face for cranial asymmetry
so you know just which cranial bones need to be released
to give babies fast results.
Infant CST Level 3 is now CERPs eligible for IBCLCs!
** Must be enrolled in or have taken Infant CST Levels 1 and 2 to be eligible for this class.
How the tongue and throat work together for the baby to have a coordinated suck-swallow-breathe pattern.
Discover which cranial nerves are affected and which bones to release in order to restore function and improve tongue function.
Advanced level techniques that will get to the deepest parts of the cranium to give the best results.
Have a list of treatment techniques you can use for tight or recessed jaw, back arching, coughing or choking on letdown and more.
You keep asking the same Q's
Why is this head still so flat? How do I lower a high palate? This tongue isn't tied, so why does it keep acting like it is? What is up with this baby that keeps coughing on letdown?
You keep seeing the same symptoms
Babies you see keep having the same symptom presentation, but everything you try keeps missing the mark. They are better for a while, and then they experience a snap back.
You've plateaued with results
Okay, why isn't that latch improving? You've seen them 5 times, and still only slight improvements. It has worked on other babies, why not this one?
You're hungry for more
Now that you know so much, you realize there is still so much you don't know! I am with you. I just want to learn and learn.
You'll have the skills to treat some of the toughest cases of plagiocephaly, tongue tie, reflux and latch issues.
This is a virtual course, with pre-recorded videos, live virtual classes and an assignment.
2 hours of Self Study
Watch the pre-recorded videos before we meet online.
4 Live Virtual Classes
1-hour live classes from 10:30-11:30 AM EST where we'll practice reflex testing, advanced assessment of facial symmetry, and advanced palpation of the abdomen. There is a half hour after every class for Q&A!
Final Assignment
Perform a 1 hour session on an infant 3 months or younger, assess their latch, the function of their suck, tongue and feeding. Submit your final report to receive your certificate of completion.
Learn the intricate details of a baby so you can help them even more.
Polyvagal Theory and Suck-Swallow-Breathe Dysfunction
In infants ability or inability may not be due to cranial nerve dysfunction, but due to emotional dysregulation. Learn the signs of emotional shut down that could be causing reflux, aerophagia, dysphagia, and more.
Reflex Testing
Learn which nerves are involved in the suck-swallow-breathe pattern in a baby. Once you know this, you can test them to see which ones need to be treated.
Cranial Nerve Dysfunction
Know which nerves do what specific function so you can look at a baby and know which cranial release would be best for the symptom they are presenting with.
