The Education Foundation professional workshops have trained hundreds of audiologists, physicians, physical and occupational therapists from virtually every state and as far away at Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Education Foundation's mission is to lead the world in vestibular and equilibrium education.

The Education Foundation's workshops are conducted at The American Institute of Balance, one of the country's most prolific dizziness and balance centers.
