Conversion qualification process for INDC course participants to

EASI® to become ASI® trained

This is an online course.  The SASIC3 Conversion Course focuses on the interpretation of sensory integration difficulties and dysfunctions based on the results of the EASI® and the SPM/SPM2 using the SIPT®/EASI® Crosswalk and the latest ASI® constructs. The course assumes prior knowledge of interpretation of the SIPT® as well as knowledge of patterns of sensory integration dysfunctions as previously taught on SAISI courses.

Pre-course activities due
  • INDC Data collection: completed
  • EASI® assessment of one atypical child (with suspected sensory integration difficulties) for interpretation during the SASIC 3 course: 26 July 2024

Course participants must have their atypical case available for discussion at the SASIC 3 course:

  • EASI® results, relevant clinical observations, sensory questionnaires, (such as SPM 1/2 or SP 2), any other additional tests, as well as any other relevant information.
  • A 5-minute video clip of the a-typical case, in an unstructured situation.
  • An EASI® manual.
Post course activities due
Course participants must take note that, in order to successfully complete their ASI® training, it is mandatory to submit their Fidelity Measure© (FM) videos along with the accompanying DDDM. For more detailed information, please refer to the FM timeline letter.

Course participants who are already trained in either the SIPT® or the EASI® may submit their Fidelity Measure. It is recommended that a mentor is consulted during this process, and any mentorship fees should be paid directly to the mentor by the course participant.

If course participants have any uncertainties regarding the expectations for FM submissions, it is strongly advisable that they attend the annual online Fidelity Measure workshop, especially if they have not attended a SASIC 4 course within the past four years.

PLEASE NOTE: Once the Fidelity Measure submission has been passed, course participants will receive a final certificate stating that they are ASI® trained (SAISI), able to use the SIPT®/EASI® Test and can treat using ASI® principles. 

Fidelity Measure (FM) submission
A case study, according to the DDDM, and a 10-minute video clip on the intervention of a child for scoring on the ASI® Fidelity Measure© must be submitted.  Course participants must achieve a score of 80% for the Fidelity Measure© process elements in order to pass and become fully ASI® trained.
Timeline
Submitted on or before 25 April 2025.
PLEASE NOTE: Once the Fidelity Measure submission has been passed, course participants will receive a final certificate stating that they are ASI® trained (SAISI), able to use the SIPT®/EASI® Test and can treat using ASI® principles.
