简要总结
Research Question: Will daily engagement in activities tailored to the evidence-based vestibular research result in improved attention and learning outcomes for children ages 6-9 years of age after an 8-week classroom-based intervention?
详细描述
"Vestibulotherapy" is an emerging frame of reference aiming to help neurotypical children with under-performing vestibular systems develop neural pathways supporting communication and learning.
Theory based upon systematic review: Given adequate vestibular activation through targeted activities (in an otherwise under-performing vestibular system), myelination and neuroplasticity propagate along learning pathways leading to greater neural connectivity and efficiency for sequencing, ordinance, attention, memory, body schema, spatial cognition, executive function, and interoception.
As a result of prescribed vestibular interventions and gained attributes supporting learning, students will experience increased academic growth and success as outlined by the following model.

结局指标
主要结局
Vestibular Attributes
时间窗: up to twelve weeks
Vestibular Profile - Pediatric (VP-P) will be completed at recruitment. The most salient attributes will be monitored weekly throughout the intervention.
Change in Academic Score reporting
时间窗: Baseline data established at recruitment, followed by weekly data collection of scores from spelling and math for twelve weeks, and again once at three-months post intervention
Academic record review: Math, spelling, and reading records from the 1st Semester of school will indicate trends in student performance. Immediately following and six months post-intervention, the trends will be compared to determine if a significant change occurs in these dependent variables. During and immediately following the intervention, spelling and math tests will be taken on consistent days of the week to avoid variabilities in data. Numerical data will be graphed to illustrate and examine trends and slope over time to determine significance of change.
Time on Task / Attention
时间窗: up to twelve weeks
Time on Task measures reflecting active participation and attention during instruction
