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

📘 What’s Included (32 Pages)

✔ Body-first assessment framework ✔ Interoceptive stages model (Access → Tolerance → Meaning → Use) ✔ Full clinical observation assessment ✔ Interoceptive & Executive Function Access Profile (replaces scoring) ✔ Pattern identification and clinical interpretation tools ✔ “Do / Don’t” assessment guide ✔ Direct link from assessment → intervention planning ✔ Clean, printable format for clinic, school, or home use

🚂 Grounded in a Body-First Model

Move the Train to Build the Brain

When the body is supported (through posture, movement, breathing, and co-regulation) access to executive function, communication, and participation becomes available.

👩‍⚕️ Who This Is For

• Occupational therapists

• Speech-language pathologists

• Educators

• Mental health professionals

Instead of asking: “Can the child do this?”

It asks: “When is the nervous system available for this?”

🟩 QUICK FEATURES 

✔ No scoring system (pattern-based) ✔ Direct link to intervention ✔ Includes executive function + interoception ✔ Neuro-affirming and strengths-based ✔ Ready-to-use clinical format
