BODY SCAN CHECK: Interoception Process for children
This resource contains 5 sections ...
Section 1: Visual resources for the overall process of body scanning and checking.
Make your own body scanner, use a poster version, a foldable version or use the worksheets to record body sensations.Â
Section 2: Parts of the body part focus.
Pay specific attention to parts of the body. Consider which parts of the body are used with movement. Develop language skills and an understanding of body sensations.Â
Section 3: Level check
Our inner drive and processes affect how we participate in activities. Our energy levels, use of our voice, motivation, feelings and thoughts can greatly impact engagement with a task. Just because we CAN physically do something does not mean that we WILL.Â
Section 4: Power controls
Power controls are prompts to guide responses to our body signals. A "supercharge body activity" sheet is included with activity ideas to assist with regulation. These are sensory based activities to provide proprioceptive input and build self awareness.
Section 5: Games and further activities.
This section contains a collection of "activities of daily living". We need to do self-care tasks everyday and are encouraged to use the BODY SCAN CHECK technique with ADLs.Â
This section also includes "NAME" game and "MOVEMENT" game cards to build language, fostering connections with others as well as building body awareness. There are over 50 game cards with activity ideas.Â
