TRIAD Families First Program

Interoception Webinar

Date: Friday, July 31, 2026
Time: 12:00-1:00 p.m. CST
Location: Online

This month's webinar will discuss interoceptive differences that are often seen in children on the autism spectrum. Interoception is a sense that allows us to notice internal body signals and when we recognize these body signals, our brains use them as clues to our emotions. Differences in interoception include difficulties recognizing when one is hungry, when one needs to use the restroom, or feeling overly sensitive to pain amongst other differences. We will discuss strategies to help model interoception recognition with your child.

Registration is required. Virtual log-in information will be provided once you have registered. If you do not plan to attend the live webinar, you do not need to register. A recording will be available on our website at a later date.

Previous webinar recordings and quick tip videos are available here organized by topic. Webinars are posted as they’re completed so continue to check back for new updates.
