This again is a very interesting topic. There are many OTs who are trained and work in vestiblular therapy. There are many issues involved and to do it well one needs advanced training but there is so much overlap with visual problems etc and impacts on so many occupational areas. It also involve understanding balance in a multifaceted manner.
I did a lot of work in the area in trauma with mild brain injuries. We see a significant number of clients with impairments after strokes.
