What is Interoception?
Interoception is our ability to notice and understand signals coming from inside the body.
These signals include:
• Hunger
• Thirst
• Fullness
• Pain
• Temperature
• Heart rate
• Breathing
• Needing the toilet
• Emotional sensations
Interoception helps us understand:
“How does my body feel right now?”
Some neurodivergent children may have differences in interoception. They may:
• Not notice hunger until extremely hungry
• Struggle to recognize emotions
• Miss body signals
• Have delayed toileting awareness
• Find it difficult to identify stress or fatigue
Interoception is deeply connected to regulation, emotional awareness, and self-care.
Occupational therapy may support interoception through:
• Body awareness activities
• Movement
• Sensory experiences
• Emotional labeling
• Mind-body connection activities
Understanding the body is a skill that develops over time.

Because unreliable speakers are so misunderstood, they are not effectively supported. Parents think 'my child can speak' - but is it realized what is left unsaid? In my experience the gap between their cognitive language and expressive language is so significant, it alters your perception of who they are.

Communication is not just being able to express your basic needs - but being able to express the essence of who you are, your deepest wants and needs, dreams and opinions. If anyone does not have full access to express what they want, when they want it, it is disabling. And the older they get, the more disabling it becomes.

This is why an event like this is so important. We will most certainly be there!
