The vestibule is the most ancient part of the ear. It controls balance, coordination, muscle tone, and every single muscle in our body, including the muscles of our eyes. It helps us to fight the pull of gravity and is actively involved in each step that leads the brain to process sensory information. Eye-hand coordination, strangely enough, also depends on the good functioning of the ear! Walking, dancing, running, riding a bike, climbing stairs or a cliff, writing a letter are all activities requiring the vestibular system to work optimally. It also constantly informs us about our body moving through space. The vestibule is really the manager of our body.What are the signs of vestibular dysfunction? Poor posture, clumsiness, jerky or fidgety movements, messy handwriting, poor sensory integration, avoidance of physical activities or sports are often signs of a sign of vestibular dysfunction. Because the vestibule affects so many of our basic functions, children or adults with vestibular difficulties often have learning disabilities. Our ears control balance, coordination, verticality, muscle tone and the muscles of our eyes. This is the role of the vestibule. The vestibule is also an important relay for all the sensory information that our body sends to our brain. Children who have vestibular problems, often have sensory integration difficulties. All 6 hour intensive therapy programs consist of one daily interactive auditory session working fine and/or gross motor skills, proprioceptive activities.Auditory Integration Therapy |
