The Hands-on Guide to Vestibular
Rehabilitation: Clinical Decision-Making to Treat Vertigo, Dizziness, & Balance
Disorders
SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
End Years of Vertigo in as Little as One
Session
Vestibular rehabilitation is a very successful intervention technique that can
change a person's life in as little as one treatment for BPPV, and two weeks for
other types of dizziness. This seminar trains clinicians to develop clinical
decision-making skills, determine who can benefit from vestibular
rehabilitation, assist in therapy diagnosis and treatment strategies, and
provide skilled treatment to improve the lives of many. Wrapping up, we will
review documentation, goal-writing, and Medicare Functional Limitation
Reporting, as well as case studies of common findings and problem-solving
approaches for the challenging patient.

SEMINAR SPEAKER(s)
COLLEEN SLEIK PT, DPT, OCS, NCS, is a
licensed physical therapist with over 13 years of experience. Certified in
Vestibular Rehabilitation, she specializes in treating patients with vestibular
disorders when other forms of medical management have failed. Dr. Sleik founded
a private practice in 2010 with the primary focus of treating patients with
vestibular conditions. She currently works as a specialist at Dickinson County
Rehabilitation Services, where 90% of her caseload consists of patients with
vestibular and balance disorders. She also continues to provide PRN services at
local skilled nursing facilities.
Dr. Sleik graduated from The College of St. Catherine with a Master’s in
Physical Therapy. She earned a transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy degree
through The University of St. Augustine, Florida, then completed the
Competency-Based Vestibular Rehabilitation course through Emory University in
Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to being a board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical
Specialist, Dr. Sleik is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association,
including the Neurology section. She began teaching continuing education courses
in vestibular rehabilitation in 2015 with the purpose of improving clinicians’
knowledge bases in the areas of vestibular rehabilitation, clinical
decision-making, and ultimately the quality of patient care. Dr. Sleik’s goal as
a clinician is to provide her patients with the best care available for return
to daily function with minimal limitations, while also providing the tools for
long-term self-management of symptoms.
