How Interoception and Other Sensory Systems Can Affect Play and Social Learning

CE Hours 2

About this course

Play is one of the first occupations babies and children engage in and it provides the foundational skills onto which other occupations (e.g. student, athlete, artist) develop. Social interactions are commonplace in play and serve as opportunities to build social-emotional learning skills. Research has demonstrated links between poor awareness and processing of sensory information, which can affect emotion regulation, play and social engagement. This course will provide an introduction to the eight sensory systems, including the lesser known sense, "Interoception." Building awareness of these sensory systems can support self-regulation, play & social skills. Linking interoceptive signals to feelings can enhance social-emotional learning skills and increase present moment awareness. Strategies for teaching interoceptive awareness in the play room will be shared that may help young clients with trauma, loneliness or social connection challenges.
