Balance Problems (Vestibular Disorders)

All kids, especially toddlers, stumble and fall sometimes. But your child may have a balance problem if you notice a regular pattern of issues like dizziness, blurred vision, clumsiness and frequent falls. Symptoms of balance disorders can sometimes be misdiagnosed as something else — or missed altogether. But treating balance problems can help kids function and feel better.

At Nemours Children's, our teams of specialists work together to figure out what may be causing your child’s balance and vestibular (inner ear balance) problems and create a treatment plan that fits their specific needs.
