| Description |
When we think about the vestibular and visual systems, we may think simply about balance and
coordination, and having good eyesight. However, both systems are far more complex and the inter-relationship between
the visual-vestibular systems can have a huge impact on your pediatric client’s motor development, emotional regulation,
learning, and skill acquisition. The visual system has an enormous impact on the precise functioning of the vestibular
system and dysfunction can result in poor performance across all areas of a child's function. In this class, you will learn
about the neurobiology of both the visual and vestibular systems and their correlation to a child’s daily occupations. You
will learn to effectively assess each system and how to engage in a variety of therapeutic play activities to strengthen their
visual-vestibular integration and performance.
This course has been modified from the original 14-hour Pediatric Brain Course taught for the past 15 years. It can be
viewed individually and will also work well as a series with Parts 1 and 2, as well as in conjunction with the Primitive
Reflex Integration Course.. Course instruction methods include lecture, demonstration, videos, case studies and
question/answers. (Intermediate Level)
