Interoception: A Foundation for Occupational Participation
$20.25 [2.25 CE Hours]
Many ADLs and IADLs rely both directly and indirectly on the skill of interoception, making it an essential area of focus for occupational therapists. Interoception supports a person’s ability to recognize internal body signals such as hunger, thirst, the need to use the bathroom, pain, fatigue, and general feelings of illness. These internal cues are critical for initiating and completing everyday self-care tasks, maintaining health, and participating fully in daily routines. When individuals have difficulty accurately identifying these sensations, they may struggle with basic activities like eating and drinking regularly, toileting appropriately, or responding to discomfort and pain. Each of these can impact the therapy process as well as someone’s well-being. Therefore, it is important that occupational therapists understand how to manage and build awareness of these internal signals as well as develop strategies to respond effectively to such sensations. By addressing interoceptive challenges, OTs can support greater independence, safety, and overall participation in meaningful daily occupations.
