Abstract:
The American Academy of Audiology recently published a clinical consensus statement on pediatric vestibular assessment to serve as a guide for assessing vestibular function in the pediatric population. The purpose of this presentation is to review content provided within the guide. Test considerations and interpretation of appropriate bedside assessment techniques, vestibular evoked myogenic potential, video head impulse, videonystagmography, rotary chair and various pediatric questionnaires will be reviewed.

Brief Summary of Clinical Takeaways:
The clinical takeaway for this session is for professionals and students to understand the available testing available for assessing vestibular function in the pediatric population.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and describe modifications to each assessment of vestibular function when being completed in children.
  • List the age each assessment of vestibular function can be completed.
  • Summarize outcomes for each assessment of vestibular function.
