Presented by:

Visual-vestibular functioning is closely intertwined with our praxis skills. This webinar will discuss how these skills are related and the role the visual and vestibular systems play in developing praxis skills. Participants will also learn intervention strategies for addressing these visual-vestibular deficits using a praxis framework.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:
- Describe how visual-vestibular dysfunction relates to and impacts praxis functioning.
- Identify the neuroanatomical foundations of visual-vestibular-related praxis functions.
- Identify several intervention strategies to address visual-vestibular integration in praxis intervention
