Pediatric vestibular testing requires a highly specialized skillset to obtain reliable results. During this period of rapid growth for the field, hands-on learning opportunities are in high demand. At this one-day workshop, attendees can expect to learn the basics behind VEMP, vHIT, and rotational chair testing and the modifications for completing these with pediatric patients. It will be highly interactive with a focus on hands-on learning with the equipment.
Target Audience
This workshop is designed for clinicians new to the field of pediatric vestibular testing. This includes both audiologists who have experience with adult vestibular testing and pediatric audiologists new to vestibular testing. There will be a maximum of 5 attendees in each workshop group to enhance the learning experience and ensure each person has adequate hands-on time.

Visiting Colorado
The transformation of Colorado’s aspens into a shimmering canopy of gold offers a rare, high-contrast spectacle against the rugged gray peaks and dark evergreens of the Rockies. Because many groves are actually single organisms connected by one root system, entire mountainsides change color in perfect, breathtaking synchronization. This fleeting "magic hour" of nature provides a sensory experience unlike any other, where the gentle quaking of the leaves creates a soft, rustling soundtrack to the vibrant autumn landscape. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see Colorado at its finest by extending your stay through the weekend!
Come for the insights, stay for the aspens!
