Integrated Interoception & Executive Function Assessment™
A Body-First Clinical Framework for Understanding Access, Regulation, and Participation
 
🌳 A Body-First Approach to Assessment
This is not a checklist.
This is not a score.
 
The Integrated Interoception & Executive Function Assessment™ helps you understand patterns of access across the system, so you can make meaningful clinical decisions grounded in how the body supports participation.
 
🧠 What This Assessment Helps You Do
Identify when access is limited, variable, or available with support
Understand how interoception, regulation, praxis, executive function, and communication interact
Recognize why participation changes across contexts
Determine where to begin intervention
 
🔍 What You’ll Learn to See
When the nervous system is ready for action
How internal signals are accessed and used
How posture, movement, and breathing influence participation
When executive function becomes available or unavailable
