In this episode, Caitlin is joined by Danni and Dayna to explore interoception – the often-overlooked sense that tells us what's happening inside our own bodies. From hunger and thirst to heartbeat and emotional states, the team discuss how interoception underpins so much of how children regulate, connect, and navigate their day – and when it works differently, the ripple effects can show up across feeding, behaviour, emotional regulation, and learning.
The conversation goes beyond an OT lens, exploring why interoception is relevant for all clinicians. The team bring their caseload experience to the table, sharing what interoceptive differences actually look like in practice, and how to support a child in building their interoceptive awareness.

We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognise their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture.
