Without clear information coming from the vestibular system, sights and sounds in the environment do not make sense- they are only isolated pieces of information disconnected from each other and from the meaningful whole. It is integration of sensory information that holds the key for finding meaning in the world. This two-day workshop for Astronaut Training will explore the connections of the vestibular-visual-auditory triad and their subsequent impact on function. Additionally, this course will provide participants with a precise template for intervention strategies, including administration of Astronaut Training.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Explain the connections between connections between the vestibular, auditory and visual systems.
• Describe the reciprocal interaction between the Vestibular- Auditory-Visual Triad and the core postural muscles.
