Hi Reader, Understanding how our bodies feel is a vital skill for emotional regulation and self-awareness. I just added an update to my Occupational Therapy Interoception and Emotional Awareness PDF resource—now featuring a sensations page to help students identify and describe how their bodies feel at any moment. If you are one of my followers who purchased this resource when I added it last week you can go to your purchase page and get the added update for free. While you are on that page, I would love your feedback on how it is working for you and your students.
