ERI is partnering with P.G. Chambers School to offer this live webinar.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever considered the importance of the sensory system that detects movement while rehabilitating children and adolescents? The pediatric patient will experience vestibular dysfunction at similarly rates as adults and any change either peripheral or central can greatly impact normal development of movement and postural control. This course will present current understanding of the scope of the vestibular dysfunction problem, best practices, systematic evaluation, and treatments addressing vestibular deficits in the school-aged child and adolescent. The course combines lecture, demonstration, and case study to address dysfunction accurately and efficiently. This course is updated as new information and guidelines are published. The primary goal is to challenge therapists to re-think movement and stability in their practice, using a comprehensive understanding of the vestibular system. Principles presented can be applied across the lifespan and with a multitude of disability levels.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand how vestibular dysfunction presents and how it affects children and adolescents
- Choose the most relevant, time efficient evaluations specific to functional deficits and be able to take these findings to create and modify a treatment program
- Modify current treatment plans to address vestibular dysfunction including advancing and dosing of the intervention
- Recognize dysfunction that can be addressed and red flags that signal the need to referral to other medical providers
- Educate patients, caregivers, and other medical team members about the identified vestibular involvement in the child’s functional complaint
AUDIENCE:
This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, OTs OTAs, and health practitioners that work with school-aged children and adolescents AGE 5-18.

This was a phenomenal course! I have some experience with vestibular with regard to adult outpatient, but this enhanced my understanding of vestibular for ALL AGES! She may have focused on school age, but she touched on infant and adult. You can truly leave this course with everything you need to be a competent vestibular therapist. Thank you so much for this valuable information! -Larissa, PT -this_was_a_phenomenal_course_i_have_some_experience_with_vestibular_with_regard_to_adult_outpatient_but_this_enhanced_my_understanding_of_vestibular_for_all_ages_she_may_have_focused_on_school_age
