Pediatric Interoception Toolkit

Hi everyone,

I’d like to build off the last post by highlighting a pediatric interoception toolkit that was developed by Heidi Janssen as an occupational therapy doctoral project at the University of North Dakota. The research paper and toolkit (in the appendix) are freely available both under the Occupational Therapy Commons and directly from the University website.

Inside Interoception: Enhancing Self-Regulation and Emotional Regulation Using the Eighth
Sensory System. This manual includes background about interception, theoretical frameworks, evaluation tools, goal writing, intervention, and documentation. It is intended for pediatric occupational therapy practitioners.
