On-site
This is a five-day on-site course. During the current transition period both the EASI® and the SIPT® are discussed during SASIC 3, due to certain course participants who are completing their ASI® training using the SIPT®, as well as interpretation of ASI® functions and dysfunctions based in part on previous studies conducted with the SIPT®.
The SASIC 3 course focuses on the interpretation of sensory integration constructs, using clinical reasoning, interpreting the results of the SIPT®/ EASI®, as well as a sensory questionnaire (SPM 1/2 or SP 2 – the SPM2 is preferred on SAISI courses), unstructured clinical observations, and observations of play and in therapy. Clinical pictures of sensory integration difficulties and dysfunctions are taught based on the latest ASI® constructs.

Post course activities due
Protocol submission: *No late submission for protocols will be allowed due to strict SASIC course timelines.
Submit a case and write a protocol showing clinical reasoning of interpretation. The protocol process includes:
- Scoring of the SIPT®/EASI® checked by a SAISI approved mentor before starting with the write-up of the protocol. *The scoring marking fee is included in the SASIC 3 course fee.
- Attend at least one individual mentoring session or two group mentoring sessions and submit proof along with the protocol submission. *The mentoring fee is not included in the SASIC 3 course fee. The course participant must pay the mentor directly.
PLEASE NOTE: Participants must pass their protocol before they are eligible to attend the SASIC 4 course. Course participants must apply in advance (before confirmation of protocol passing) for SASIC 4 as space is limited.
Deadline: 15 March 2025
PLEASE NOTE:
Timeframe for ASI® training: It remains each course participant’s responsibility to complete the ASI® training within seven years. Should the course participant be unable to submit their protocol at the given date and be unable to complete their training within the seven-year timeframe, the extension policy applies.
Please note that course participants should not apply for all four SASIC courses in the same year. This is because, due to the protocol submission requirements, course participants cannot attend both the SASIC 3 Interpretation Course and the SASIC 4 Intervention Course in the same year. This will incur a penalty fee of R1000.
