Certificate in Ayres Sensory Integration (CASI) Module 1, 2 & 3

Course Outline

The latest advancements in neuroscience support the application of the theory of sensory integration as an
approach to dealing with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. This module 1 will provide the therapists with a theoretical basis for the application of the theory of sensory integration for clinical practice. Module 2 aimed at introducing and orienting the learner to the scope of comprehensive assessment in ASI, including specific methods for assessing core sensory integrative functions and planning intervention when applying the ASI framework. Learners are introduced to information on direct and indirect assessment, including the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) (Mailloux, Parham & Smith Roley, 2016, in process) and the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) through http://www.wpspublish.com.
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 children brought into the course
