Objectives
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the perceptual processes involved with normal balance, gait, and motion perception;
2. Understand and apply strategies for assessment of multi-sensory perception in the context of common perceptual challenges;
3. Understand and apply strategies for treatment of persons who present with common perceptual challenges;
4. Utilize concepts from current research on perception and practical experience to develop clinically-relevant questions to guide future scientific inquiry and improve patient care.
