Interoception refers to the perception of internal sensory bodily experiences. These internal experiences routinely affect our emotions and self-regulation. Although therapists have been aware of the importance of visceral sensations for many years, understanding of the neurobiology of interoception and its’ connection to emotions, self-regulation and mental health have only recently become available. This webinar will present information on what interoception is, what are its’ neurobiological foundations and how it relates to common areas of dysfunction in children with sensory integration challenges and autism spectrum disorder.
Who should attend:
Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Physiotherapists, Physiotherapy Assistants, Speech Therapists, Speech Therapy Assistants, Early Interventionists, Teachers, Psychologists, Social Workers, Counsellors, Parents and Professionals working with individuals with ASD
