Vestibular input
Vestibular input is the sense of movement and balance. It comes from the inner ear and affects how steady we feel.
Definition
Movement like rocking, spinning, or walking provides vestibular input. Some people seek it to feel regulated, while others are sensitive to it. Safe, controlled movement can help with focus and calm. Always match movement to comfort and safety.
Why it matters here
We suggest gentle movement breaks as part of regulation routines.
