Toe Walking: Signs of Poor Vestibular?

“Surprisingly, toe walking is not only a sign of a developmental delay in children; it is also a sign of a poor vestibular system, which is tied to a child’s balance and coordination.

If a child’s vestibular system isn’t working properly, we begin to see symptoms, like toe walking, poor behavior or learning challenges in the classroom.” – Integrated Learning Strategies
