Module 1 is a research-based series of lessons that provide a foundation in ASI theory. We strongly advise that prior to starting that you familiarise yourself with the seminal texts such as Ayres (2005) Sensory Integration and the Child, available through http://www.wpspublish.org. Course price includes live online ASI WISE mentoring in dedicated tutor peer groups.

Module 2 introduces the learner to information on direct and indirect assessments including the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) through http://www.wpspublish.org and the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) (Mailloux, Parham & Smith Roley, 2016, in process). Course price includes live online ASI WISE mentoring in dedicated tutor peer groups.

This module provides hands-on practice and review of all aspects of sensory integration and praxis with a variety of assessments that were introduced in module 2. During the onsite module 3, participants will have an opportunity to clarify any questions they have about the information presented in the online instruction, practice assessment administration and scoring with peers and, when possible, practice the assessments with clients brought in to the course. Course price includes dedicated tutoring in peer groups.

Module 4 provides information on using research to guide the interpretation of assessment data, linking findings to participation strengths and challenges and guiding intervention planning. Participants will prepare a case study for analysis and this will be shared, developed and reflected on during live online mentoring with ASI WISE mentors. Course price includes live online ASI WISE mentoring in dedicated tutor peer groups.

Module 5 introduces the research and manualized methods of ASI intervention including the Fidelity to ASI Intervention measure that assists researchers and clinicians to distinguish between interventions that are faithful to the principles of ASI and those that do not meet the criteria. Course price includes live online ASI WISE mentoring in dedicated tutor peer groups.

Module 6 provides the opportunity for therapists to observe experts in ASI intervention strategies working with clients in a clinic equipped to meet the criteria outlined in the Fidelity measure. Participants will bring a completed case to the course for analysis in small group and whole group discussion including interpretation of assessment findings, identified outcomes, and intervention strategies, design, and refinement of the fidelity to the ASI intervention principles, supporting reflective practice.
