At-home mother and working father of infant asked for help pay for a cranial molding helmet for their child. “Helmet molding therapy, or cranial orthosis, is a type of treatment in which a baby is fitted with a special helmet to correct the shape of the skull. Helmet molding therapy is not painful or uncomfortable for your baby. Duration of treatment can vary based on your baby’s needs, but average treatment is 3 months” – www.hopkinsmedicine.org. Recommended by the child’s maxillofacial specialist but denied by the family’s medical insurance carrier, we stepped in to provide funding for this time-sensitive treatment.
