Go beyond the basic body-signal definition
Explore the role of interoception in internal state awareness, survival, decision-making, emotion, regulation and function.
There is more to interoception than we thought
Interoception is not only hunger, toileting and recognising emotions.
Interoception is decision-making, risk assessment, gut reactions, survival, relationships and function, all wrapped up in one crucial sense. This Masterclass helps clinicians connect internal body signals with sensory processing, self-regulation and participation.
You hear interoception mentioned everywhere, but the clinical picture still feels unclear.
Move beyond a narrow definition and understand how body signals are sensed, interpreted and used within a wider nervous system picture.
A child struggles with emotional regulation and the reason is not obvious.
Explore how internal body awareness, autonomic state, sensory processing and context may contribute before the visible behaviour appears.
Hunger, thirst, toileting or body needs are difficult for the child to recognise or communicate.
Use a clearer framework for reasoning about interoceptive awareness without reducing the child to a checklist of body signals.
Traditional sensory strategies are not creating the change you expected.
Reconnect strategy selection to the child's nervous system, interoceptive processing, environment and participation so intervention is better matched to the individual.
What you will learn
Turn interoception from a familiar word into clearer clinical reasoning.
Understand the neuroscience underpinning interoception, its relationship with sensory processing and self-regulation, and how to use that understanding in individualised, strengths-based practice.
Connect interoception with sensory processing
Build a deeper understanding of how interoceptive processing interacts with the wider sensory picture instead of treating it as an isolated sense.
Use a developmental clinical framework
Consider how interoceptive awareness and support may look across different life stages, contexts and participation demands.
Translate science into practical support
Strengthen assessment, intervention planning and parent-friendly explanations while keeping practice individualised and neurodiversity-affirming.
Evidence-based practice
Understand the neuroscience, then bring it back to the child in front of you.
The Masterclass draws together current interoception research, sensory processing science and occupation-centred clinical reasoning. Research references are provided in the workbook.
Interoception and internal state
Explore how the nervous system senses, integrates and interprets internal bodily information, and why that process matters far beyond identifying hunger or toileting needs.
Sensory processing and self-regulation
Consider the interplay between interoception, wider sensory processing, arousal and emotional regulation so that the clinical picture is not fragmented into separate problems.
Participation and developmental context
Bring the science back to daily function, relationships, self-advocacy and participation across home, school, therapy and community settings.
The SenseUp clinical lens
Knowing the terminology is not the same as knowing what to do next. The Masterclass is designed to help you use interoception as part of your clinical reasoning rather than as another isolated sensory strategy.
That means asking what the child's body is communicating, how sensory and autonomic processes may be interacting, what the environment is demanding, and what participation is at stake.
The result is clearer reasoning, more meaningful communication with families and teams, and support that is better matched to the individual child.

From understanding to application
This is what clinical confidence feels like.
Picture this... You are reviewing your session notes when a parent messages to tell you their child recognised what was happening in their body, asked for help in the classroom and avoided a meltdown. The shift is not a new trick. It is finally understanding what the nervous system may have been communicating all along.
Clinical reasoning in action
See the body story earlier.
When the interoceptive picture becomes clearer, you can move beyond reacting to the visible behaviour and reason more confidently about what the child may need before the situation escalates.
What internal body information may be available, missed, delayed, amplified or difficult to interpret?
How are interoception, sensory processing, autonomic state and the environment interacting?
How can you give families and educators language that makes the child's experience easier to understand?
What intervention supports awareness, regulation and participation without forcing compliance or one-size-fits-all strategies?
Masterclass feedback
What occupational therapists say about SenseUp Masterclasses
Verbatim feedback from previous SenseUp Masterclass participants.
“Questioning whether a child is sensory seeking or mobilised - I found this so important and was like an "aha!" moment - safety before regulation before intervention :-)”Danni H., Occupational Therapist, Australia
“The connections between the theory and practical solutions make sense!Sophie G., Occupational Therapist, Australia
Literal light bulb moments throughout entire masterclass.”
“The practical element of being able to apply this knowledge straight away with families and in sessions! Greater understanding of factors to consider in my practice too.”Hannah S., Occupational Therapist, Australia

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the Masterclass and The SenseUp Approach™
1. What does this Masterclass mean by interoception?
The Masterclass moves beyond a narrow focus on hunger, thirst and toileting. It explores how internal body signals relate to regulation, emotional awareness, decision-making, relationships and participation.
2. Is this only relevant for toileting, eating or emotional regulation?
No. Those are important areas, but the Masterclass places interoception within the wider nervous system and sensory processing picture so you can reason about function and participation more broadly.
3. Is the Masterclass neurodiversity-affirming?
Yes. The teaching is strengths-based and sensory-affirming. The goal is to understand the child's nervous system and participation needs rather than forcing a compliant presentation or treating the child as the problem.
4. Is The SenseUp Approach™ the same as Ayres Sensory Integration®?
No. Ayres Sensory Integration® is an important scientific foundation within SenseUp's wider clinical reasoning. The SenseUp Approach also integrates nervous system safety, trauma-informed reasoning and occupation-centred practice.
5. I am an Allied Health Professional. Can I purchase the replay?
Yes. AHPs are welcome. The training is presented from Kerry's occupational therapy perspective, so apply the learning within your own professional scope of practice.
6. I am a parent or educator. Is this the right training for me?
This is professional clinical education designed primarily for paediatric OTs and AHPs. It is not a platform for individual clinical advice about a child. Contact [email protected] if you need help finding the most appropriate support pathway.
7. How do I access the Interoception replay?
Purchase the replay through checkout. Follow the purchase confirmation and welcome emails for your learning portal login and replay access instructions. Replay access is 60 days from purchase.
8. Can I watch on mobile?
Yes. Mobile App Access is available via Kajabi Student on supported devices.
9. Does the recording access expire?
Yes. The Innerstanding Interoception replay includes 60-day recording access from purchase. Your general account login may remain active after product access expires.
10. I am having technical issues with login or the portal. What should I do?
Please contact [email protected] and include as much detail as possible, including screenshots where helpful.
11. How do I get my Certificate of Attendance?
