Vestibular Processing

Your vestibular system is your sense of movement.
Receptors are located within your inner ear.
These receptors detect movement, specifically head position changes, and sends the signal to the brain.
The brain interprets the signal and sends more signals to the body in order to produce a response.
.
The vestibular system is directly connected to your visual system.
Additionally, it directly affects your balance.
Therefore, your vestibular processing impacts your ability to run, jump, play sports, ride roller coasters, and more!
.
Vestibular input can be overstimulating - too much movement can cause an adverse reaction (this is called over responsive).
.
For others, vestibular input may be calming and they may seek out more of it in order to feel good in their body (often known as sensory seeking).
.
Dysfunction of the vestibular system directly impacts your ability to get through your day and complete daily life tasks, and for children specifically impacts learning and play.
.
