Interoception and sensory challenges with toileting
This course will be delivered over two half-day sessions and is suitable for all healthcare professionals. It introduces the concept of interoception and how it relates to achieving developmental milestones for children and young people with additional needs.
It explores contemporary assessment and strategies to support practice with critical analysis and discussion about the current state of the evidence and the challenges and opportunities for application and implementation.
Feedback from one of our previous webinars "Outstanding! Tabitha was so engaging and her enthusiasm shone through the screen. It was well constructed with enough break time and covered all areas I was unsure of. I have made so many notes that I am going to utilise."
