How the Vestibular System Affects Your Child’s Behavior

March 18, 2022 by jennifer 1 Comment

“Information from the eyes, ears, and vestibular system (balance & movement) combine to give an awareness of yourself in relation to the space around you. So your eyes tell you where you are in the room, your ears tell you what is going on in the room, the vestibular system recognizes if your body is standing still, moving, if it is balanced etc.

All of this information is then filtered through your brain and then your brain provides a response! This affects your arousal, motor and language responses.” – Growing Hands-On Kids
