Let’s find out what is vestibular processing, the importance of the vestibular system, and what activities to do to help our children integrate their vestibular processing system.

Dr. Christina Garrity | Neurologic Clinical Specialist on Instagram: "Habituation exercises are a fundamental component of vestibular therapy, providing a structured approach to reducing dizziness and improving balance through the mechanism of neural adaptation. By systematically exposing patients to symptom-provoking stimuli, these exercises help to desensitize the vestibular system, leading to significant improvements in the patient’s ability to manage their condition and regain normal…

We all know a kid who inherently NEEDs to move their body all day long. But have you ever noticed

CONNECTING DOTS | CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER on Instagram: "🌟 The rotational vestibular system, part of the inner ear's vestibular system, detects rotational movements and maintains balance and equilibrium. ✅️ Components: 🔸️Semicircular canals (3 canals, filled with fluid) 🔸️Otolith organs (utricle and saccule) 🔸️Vestibular nerve 🔸️Vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) ✅️ Functions: 🔸️Detects rotational movements (yaw, pitch, roll) 🔸️Maintains balance and equilibrium 🔸️Integrates…

Increase classroom activity and learning with a fitness trampoline! Read how this Kindergarten teacher safely added a trampoline, along with movement ideas.

Older children can safely sit and bounce in this chair which is easily transferrable from room to room. Indispensible with babies, this bigger bouncing chair is larger and stronger and suitable for children with limited mobility, up to the age of nine. Every movement of the head results in a little movement in the chair, which in turn moves the head again: this is vestibular feedback of the very best kind. http://blossomforchildren.co.uk/at-home/261-bigger-bouncer.html

Vestibular therapy equipment helps correct issues associated with balance, sensory processing and central nervous system disorders. Ranging from swings to balls to boards, these devices affect the inner ear equilibrium by rocking, bouncing, or tilting the client.

Videonystagmography (VNG) technologies for testing inner ear and central motor functions. VNG testing is considered the new standard for testing inner ear functions over Electronystagmography (ENG), because VNG measures the movements of the eyes directly through infrared cameras, instead of measuring the mastoid muscles around the eyes with electrodes like the previous ENG version. VNG testing is more accurate, more consistent, and more comfortable for the patient.

The nerves for this sense are in our joints. When we stimulate the joint nerves or “Proprioceptors,” a message gets sent to specific nerve cells in the brain called “Inhibitory N…
