CONVERSION PATHWAY
SASIC 3
In-person
The SASIC 3 course focuses on the interpretation of sensory integration constructs, using clinical reasoning, interpreting the results of the EASI®, the SPM-2, structured and unstructured clinical observations and activity participation. Clinical pictures of sensory integration difficulties and dysfunctions are taught based on the latest ASI® constructs.
This is a five-day in-person course. The course uses a combination of lectures, case studies, large and small group in-depth case discussions to teach interpretation of ASI® assessment data. Participants will learn how to interpret ASI® functions and dysfunctions based on the latest literature in the field.

Pre-course activities due
- Pre-course assignment (more information with SASIC 3 acceptance letter): 7 September 2026
- TASC (Test administration and scoring check): 4 September 2026.
- EASI® assessment of two typical children: 4 September 2026.
- EASI® assessment of one atypical child (with suspected sensory integration difficulties) for interpretation during the SASIC 3 course: 4 September 2026.
- Review course notes of SASIC 1 and SASIC 2.
- Prepare documentation of one atypical case.
Course participants must bring their atypical case along for discussion to the SASIC 3 course (please note that the atypical case brought to the course may not be used for the post-course assignment):
- EASI® results, relevant clinical observations, SPM-2® completed questionnaires and results, any other additional tests, as well as any other relevant information.
- Supplementary Ayres and Gross Motor Clinical Observations (optional but preferred).
- A 5-minute video clip of the atypical case, in an unstructured situation (not in therapy or during testing).
- An EASI® manual.
- An SPM-2® manual.
- A SIPT® manual if you have access to one (optional but preferred).
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 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: March 2027
PLEASE NOTE: 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.
Timeframe for ASI® training: It remains the course participant’s responsibility to complete the ASI® training within seven years.
