POSTER SESSION 1<br />
the objective <strong>of</strong> this study to quantify the acute effects <strong>of</strong> a vestibular treatment on postural stability, gait variability, and gaze patterns. Nine<br />
children with ASD and three neurotypical controls will participate in this pilot study. Three subjects with ASD will have their step width variability<br />
and other gait parameters recorded using wearable inertial measurement units while walking an indoor path. Three subjects with ASD will have<br />
their center <strong>of</strong> pressure (COP) and sway area will be collected by standing on a balance plate under a variety <strong>of</strong> conditions. Gaze and fixation markers<br />
<strong>of</strong> three subjects with ASD will be recorded via eyes tracking equipment while subjects watched a short video. Once these baseline tests are<br />
conducted, subjects will undergo a conventional vestibular therapy session on a swing. Subjects will then be respectively retested to gauge any<br />
changes in balance, gait, and gaze patterns induced by the therapy session. It is anticipated that the subjects with ASD will display a significant<br />
increase (p
