- EASI® assessment of one atypical child (with suspected sensory integration difficulties) for interpretation during the SASIC 3 course.
- Review course notes of SASIC 1 and SASIC 2.
- Prepare documentation of one atypical case, bring it to the course.
Course participants must bring their atypical case to the SASIC 3 course for discussion (please note that the atypical case brought to the course may not be used for the post-course assignment):
- EASI® results, relevant clinical observations, sensory questionnaires (SPM-2®), and any other additional tests, as well as any other relevant information.
- Supplementary Ayres and Gross Motor Clinical Observations (optional).
- A 5-minute video clip of the atypical case, in an unstructured situation (not in therapy or during testing).
- An EASI® manual.
- The manual of your sensory questionnaire (SPM-2®).
- A SIPT® manual if you have access to one (optional).
Post-course activities
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 EASI® checked by a SAISI-approved mentor before starting the protocol write-up. *The scoring check 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 with the protocol. *The mentoring fee is not included in the SASIC 3 course fee. Course participants must pay the mentor directly.
PLEASE NOTE: Participants must pass their protocol before they are eligible to attend the SASIC 4 course. *The protocol marking fee is included in the SASIC 3 course fee.
Submission date: March 2028
PLEASE NOTE: Course participants should not apply for all four SASIC courses in the same year. This is because the protocol submission requirements mean that course participants cannot attend both the SASIC 3 Interpretation Course and the SASIC 4 Intervention Course in the same year.
Timeframe for ASI® training: It remains the responsibility of course participants to complete the ASI® training within seven years.
