CONVERSION PATHWAY
SASIC 4
On-site & online
The SASIC 4 course is divided into two parts, namely:
-
Part 1: SASIC 4 (five-day, presented in-person)
-
Part 2: FM Training (one-day, presented online synchronous)
This is the five-day in-person 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 21 September 2026.
- Redo parts of protocol: Refer to the protocol feedback letter for the relevant resubmission dates.
- 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)
- 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: July 2027 (send intent to submit to office by June 2027)
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.
Time frame 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 after the SASIC 4 Intervention Course) will be counted as year seven. Should the course participant be unable to submit their Fidelity Measure© video by 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.
