Today Stacy and Terri introduce Jessica Crafton, an OT at Family Tree Therapies and her sweet daughter, Nora. Jessica has decided to share Nora’s journey through orthotropic dentistry and we are so so glad she did! We are going to follow Nora so that parents become aware of this VERY important issue – sleep disordered breathing and healthy orofacial growth! Thank you Jessica for sharing your journey as a mom and a therapist so that you can help lead the way for others to feel empowered to manage the health of their child!

Are you not sure where to start or what to do?

My baby is very difficult to soothe and hates tummy time. Should I think about therapy for her?

My daughter is anxious and has a really hard time joining in social situations or playing with kids her own age. She doesn’t have a diagnosis, but I’m worried. Should I think about therapy for her?

My child has sensory processing challenges. His clothes have to be just right. He can’t stand certain types of movement, puts everything in his mouth, and he’s always crashing into things. Can you help?

I have general concerns regarding my child’s development, my doctor say he will grow out of it, is there something I can do now?

My son has a very difficult time paying attention, following directions, and reading. Could you help me figure out why he has these challenges and give us tools to help him?

My child doesn’t like certain foods and seems to be very selective when it comes to eating. He has a hard time chewing things. Would therapy help?

The answer is YES!
