Certificate in Ayres Sensory Integration Module 1, 2, 3 (4th Run)

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. Module 1 will
provide the therapists with a theoretical basis for the application of the theory of sensory integration
for clinical practice. Module 2 is 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

Learning Outcomes

Module 1:

• Define scientific theory, model and frame of reference
• Recognize core principles and concepts of Ayres Sensory Integration® Theory
• Describe the common patterns of sensory integration dysfunction and their proposed neural
  correlations
• Describe the neurological structures and their functions involved in the process of sensory
  integration
• Describe the relationship between sensory integration and participation in everyday activities and occupations
• Describe the functional implications and occupational factors in relation to changes of sensory
  impairments;
• Discuss the praxis and its role in performance and behavior

Module 2 & 3:

• Determine an assessment plan for a client
• Determine the evaluations appropriate to assess ASI constructs in all areas
• Analyze the psychometric strength of the evaluations
• Reliably administer the EASI, SIPT, and SPM
• Understand the constructs tested by sensory related measures
• Design clinical observations of sensory integration constructs when standardized measures are not possible
• Demonstrate competence in the application of clinical observations based on ASI
• Identify whether an evaluation report meets the standard for structural elements on ASI Intervention Fidelity Measure
