What OTPs Are Saying about AOTA-Approved Courses from Kelly Mahler

"I’ve taken 10+ of Kelly’s AOTA courses, and every single one leaves me with new perspectives and tools I actually use in my sessions.”

—Tasha R., Pediatric OT

“I knew interoception was important, but I didn’t know what to do about it—how to support my clients in this area. The 3 Steps course was the starting point I needed. It brought the topic to life for me, helping me see my clients [through] an interoception lens. It might be the most excited I’ve felt in my 25-year career. I now use The Interoception Curriculum every single day.”

—Dana H., Outpatient OT

“For years, I felt alone in my discomfort with compliance-based models—but I didn’t know what else to do. These courses gave me the language, the science, and the confidence to offer something different. Learning about interoception reframed everything. I finally feel aligned with my values and equipped to support my clients in a deeper, more respectful way.”

—Riley M., School-Based COTA

“The toileting course completely changed my perspective. I was stuck in the typical reward/punishment framework, and this continuing education opportunity helped me understand the interoceptive pieces I was missing. My clients are finally making progress—and so am I.”

—Lena M., Early Intervention OT

“I’ve used other CEU platforms, but the course content in Kelly’s trainings stands out. The depth, heart, passion, and practicality—plus the mix of lived experience and science—make this continuing education feel both meaningful and immediately useful.”

—Tom A., Private Practice COTA

“I used to think interoception was just a pediatric or autism-specific concept. But after taking the course on interoception and brain injury, everything clicked. It was a game changer for my adult rehab practice. I finally understand the dysregulation so many of my clients with TBI experience—and I’m approaching therapy with a whole new lens that’s grounded in body awareness and compassion.”

—Monica S., Adult Rehab OT

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is Kelly Mahler?

Who Is Kelly Mahler?

Hi there—I’m Kelly! I’m an occupational therapist who’s spent over two decades learning, growing, and working alongside incredible clients of all ages. I hold a Doctorate from Misericordia University, and my journey has taken me around the world, sharing what I’ve learned about interoception, the powerful “8th sense” that changed everything for me as a therapist and as a human.

I also love a good crunchy pinecone (it’s a long story), a Corgi cuddle, and a slightly imperfect home-cooked meal with my family.


What Does AOTA Stand for?

What Does AOTA Stand for?

AOTA stands for the American Occupational Therapy Association, our profession’s leading organization. As OTPs, we’re committed to lifelong learning—but we’re also juggling full caseloads, documentation, and maybe even a bit of burnout. That’s why AOTA-approved courses matter so much.

When you see that a course is AOTA-approved for continuing education, it means the course has been vetted and meets the high standards for quality and relevance set by AOTA. This isn’t fluff. It’s practical, evidence-based, lived-experience informed learning that supports you and the amazing work you do every day.


Why Does AOTA Approval Matter?

Why Does AOTA Approval Matter?

Why does AOTA approval matter to you and other occupational therapy professionals? Here are just three reasons why:

  1. Peace of Mind: You can trust that my AOTA-approved courses about interoception will provide meaningful learning that aligns with practice excellence in occupational therapy. Know that what you’re learning is grounded in best practices—not outdated ideas or tools. My AOTA-approved courses are designed to empower, not overwhelm.
  2. Earn CEUs: Additionally, completing an AOTA-approved course means you earn official continuing education units (CEUs) that count toward your professional development requirements. No more wondering if a workshop “counts”—these do.
  3. Commitment to Excellence: I created AOTA CEU courses because I’m passionate about delivering the highest-quality education to fellow therapists. I want you to feel confident that every course you take with me has undergone rigorous review and truly supports best practices in our field. Your time is valuable, and AOTA courses help ensure that time is well spent on something that will genuinely enhance your skills and clinical confidence.


What Makes These Interoception-Based Courses So Special?

What Makes These Interoception-Based Courses So Special?

Every course I offer is rooted in interoception—that inner sense that tells us how we feel on the inside. And while it plays a huge role in emotional regulation, self-awareness, and everyday function, most OT programs barely scratch the surface.

That’s why I’ve created these courses—to bridge the gap with tools and strategies that are both science-backed and totally practical.

Whether you’re just discovering interoception or deep in the trenches with complex clients, these courses offer real-life insights, flexible learning, and a supportive, affirming lens that celebrates neurodiversity instead of trying to “fix” it.

You’ll walk away with skills that help your clients feel more connected to their bodies, emotions, and daily lives, without relying on compliance-based models. And honestly? It’s transformational.

Let’s grow together—on your schedule, at your pace, in a way that feels sustainable with AOTA-approved continuing education courses.
