The clinical reference guide for the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Youth Card Deck (MAIA-YCD) and the MAIA-Y questionnaire. Sixty-five-plus pages of administration guidance and in-depth score interpretation, including comprehension-based scoring, eight-dimension profile analysis, clinical pattern recognition, and population-specific guidance. 
 
What's inside:
Administration: Step-by-step protocols for self-administered and interview-administered formats. 
 
Comprehension-Based Scoring: The MAIA-YCD's dual scoring system captures both interoceptive awareness and item comprehension simultaneously. 
 
Score Interpretation:  You'll find an interpretive framework for each of the eight scales, guidance for reading scores in context, and clear explanations of what high, low, and uneven profiles mean clinically. Interpretation guidance is grounded in published research and written for clinical application. 
 
Interoceptive Profiles: Step-by-step instructions for calculating ipsative profiles that reveal each child's relative strengths and growth areas across all eight dimensions. Pattern interpretation guidance covers the most clinically common configurations.  
 
IA Wheel and Collaborative Goal Setting:  Guidance on how to translate profile data into treatment targets and track change over time using the visual IA Wheel. 
 
Research Snapshots: Clinician-friendly summaries of the interoception evidence base in Research Evidence Bites: clinician-friendly summaries of interoceptive evidence in ADHD, anxiety and depression, PTSD and early complex trauma, alexithymia, autism, chronic pain, and eating disorders. Each section includes clinical takeaways.
