Drs. Lavender and Mueller will be combining their 15 plus years of experience in pediatric vestibular assessment and rehabilitation to present a comprehensive look at pediatric vestibular care from birth to 21 years. Typical infant and child development will be discussed and will lay the foundation for identifying children who may be affected by vestibular and balance dysfunction. Successful screening and testing techniques, as well as normal and abnormal findings, will be the focus of the assessment portion of the lecture given by Dr. Lavender. Dr. Mueller will discuss the vestibular physical therapist’s role in vestibular and balance assessment, as well as successful strategies to use with children for vestibular rehabilitation. Didactic case studies and video examples will be used to demonstrate testing and rehabilitation techniques.

Learning Objectives:

Complete a vestibular screening for children at risk without specialized equipment.
Describe the specific patterns of dysfunction in children with two types of syndromic hearing loss.
List three modifications for retraining balance and the vestibular ocular reflex for young children.
