The SASIC 4 course is divided into two parts, namely:
- Part 1: SASIC 4 (five-day presented on-site)
- Part 2: FM (presented on-line synchronous)
On-site
The five-day on-site course where intervention strategies within the Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI®) frame of reference are taught. The implementation of an intervention plan based on the interpretation of test results is demonstrated and discussed. Clinical reasoning and case-based problem solving are used throughout. The science and art of ASI® intervention are taught in a practical manner. The one-day synchronous online course follows the intervention course focusing on the key elements of ASI® intervention with Fidelity Measure© principles. The outcome is to support participants in the submission of their Fidelity Measure video to complete their ASI® training and receive their SAISI certification.

Pre-course activities due
Submission and passing of protocol (options below):
- Pass with mentoring: Submit proof of mentoring by 18 August 2025.
- Redo parts of protocol: Refer to the protocol feedback letter for the relevant resubmission date.
- Fail protocol: The course participant will only be able to attend SASIC 4 in following year.
Course participants must submit and bring the following along:
- Equipment practical (more information with SASIC 4 acceptance letter): due 29 August 2025
- Prepare a case presentation for guiding clinical reasoning. This includes:
-
- Written consent from primary caregivers of the child
- SIPT®/EASI® results.
- Separate Ayres Clinical Observations when using a SIPT® case, or additional clinical observations when using an EASI® case.
- Sensory questionnaires (such as the SPM 1/2 or SP 2), as well as any other relevant information.
- A 5-minute video clip of the child where the child is exposed to play on SI equipment.
- Case study DDDM outline.
Post course activities due
Fidelity Measure© (FM) submission: *No late submission for FM will be allowed due to strict SASIC course timelines.
A case study, according to the DDDM, and a 10-minute continuous video clip on the intervention of a child for scoring on the ASI® Fidelity Measure© must be submitted.
It is strongly recommended that course participants attend at least one FM mentoring session (this fee is not included in the course fee). Course participants must achieve a minimum score of 80% according to the ASI® Fidelity Measure© process elements to pass and become fully ASI® trained.
Deadline: 17 April 2026
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 apply ASI® intervention principles.
Timeframe for ASI® training: It remains each course participant’s responsibility to complete the ASI® training within seven years. The year that you attend the SASIC 1 Theory Course is year one and the final year to submit and pass your Fidelity Measure (usually 7-8 months following the SASIC 4 Intervention Course) will be counted as year seven. Should the course participant be unable to submit their Fidelity Measure video at the given date and be unable to complete their training within the seven-year timeframe, the extension policy applies at EXCO’s discretion.
PLEASE NOTE: Course participants must apply in advance (before confirmation of protocol passing) for SASIC 4, as space is limited.
