Whether you're a parent seeking to better understand your child's actions or a therapist supporting clients with sensory processing differences, understanding and supporting interoception can be transformative.
Join us as Kate shares practical insights, real-world examples, and effective strategies to develop this critical skill, empowering children and adults to better recognize, label, and respond to internal cues.
