The name of the person that I am thinking of is by the name Cohen.
Check out OTseeker.com to review article abstracts that you may find
interesting and then take a few abstracts to a librarian for assistance
of finding them, perferably a hospital librarian or a university
librarian. Here is one abstract from Pubmed that has a few case
studies from Cohen that use her hierachy of occupations to treat
vestibular dysfunction. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7785720
Really interesting concept.

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.

Hmm. not sure but I used to babysit for a vestibular PT. He once told
me
that OT's cannot do vestibular therapy. Not sure why or even if it is
accurate? I am not sure what vestibular OT would look like as a
treatment.

Subject: [OTlist] vestibular OT
Hello !!
I've been on this list for a while, but just as an owl. I love
reading
everything here. Im learning new things from each and every one of
you.
Education is just totally endless. There are so much stuff to learn.
Oh,
before I go on, my name is Diana and Im in my last year of OT program
!!
I'm very interested in vestibular field. A friend of mine told me
that the
vestibular is an up and coming field for OT AND its less physical
demanding,
which is perfect for me because I have a meniere's disease and a low
back
pain.
Does anyone know about this particular field?
diana.
