BADD has produced Gaining Balance , a DVD of professionally-led vestibular rehabilitation exercises, which can be done at home. In addition, there is a series of interviews with dizzy people and a supporter of a dizzy spouse to gain insight into how dizziness changed their lives. The DVD is available in Canada at a cost of $25 for members with a $5 discount if picked up at a meeting. Non-members pay $30 minus $5 if picked up at a meeting. For international orders the cost will be slightly higher to cover increased postal rates.
