Friend of PediaStaff and Guest Columnist, Anne Zachry of Pediatric Occupational Therapy Tips is working on a research project and is trying to get as many pediatric OT’s and PT’s as possible to complete a quick 2-minute survey on Survey Monkey.  Please read her introduction below:

The Back to Sleep campaign has been a huge success and thousands of infant lives have been saved. However, in recent years, the number of flattened head syndrome cases has increased by approximately 50%, and the number of torticollis cases has increased by almost 85%. A survey of 400 PTs and OTs revealed that 2/3 of the therapists surveyed reported an increase in infant motor delays in the past 6 years. Many therapists believe that back sleeping combined with the large amounts of time that babies are spending in “containers” (carseats, bouncer seats, etc.) are contributing to these developmental problems.

Please Complete this Quick Survey on Survey Monkey! and Thanks!!
