Awareness and Education are the key to helping families recognize plagiocephaly early. If you do not know what signs to look for, how will you ever know.

Cease and desist!!

Why would a multi-million (MAYBE BILLION) dollar corporation care if little Alexandra's P.H.A.T.E. has "their?" letters on our website? We were given permission to use them by the site they are on. Are we that threatening? Seriously, Aren't we all in this for the same reason-TO GET CHILDREN WITH PLAGIOCEPHALY THE HELMET THERAPY THEY NEED AND RAISE AWARENESS? Or is it about the all mighty dollar? Hmmmmmm. I wonder what MR. BIGS answer to that question is? I certainly know mine.
