A conference helping us to

understand how we feel

Tuesday 6th November we arranged a conference where research and practice came together to help answer some of your questions relating to our internal sense - Interoception.

The day will provide researchers, professionals, carers & parents with information explaining what exactly this sensory system is. We will have lectures from some leading researchers in the area as well as practitioners in Occupational Therapy and SEN.

​

Merging how research is put into practice is so important for us all to learn from and to continue to improve the services and the care we provide.
