Enhance Your Practice with EASI Training – UK and Ireland Therapists

Learning the EASI on ASI2-UUSI2 strengthens client-centred, neuroaffirming and inclusive care.

Learning the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration gives therapists a shared, research-grounded way to understand sensory perception, postural and ocular control, bilateral integration, praxis, and sensory reactivity. The EASI is designed for children aged 3 to 12 and is built with robust international norms and psychometric studies, making the findings meaningful and comparable across settings.

How EASI learning helps your practice

  • Sharper clinical reasoning: Training deepens understanding of ASI constructs and patterns, strengthening assessment, hypothesis generation, and intervention planning.
  • Data you can trust and share: International normative data supports culturally responsive comparisons and fairer decisions for the people you serve.
  • Fidelity to Ayres’ work: The EASI measures core constructs of Ayres Sensory Integration with contemporary tools, protecting quality and integrity.

Flexible learning pathways that fit real services

  • Stackable modules: Start with foundations, add EASI test training, then build clinical reasoning labs, supervision, and outcome measurement. Each step maps to clear competencies.
  • Blended delivery: Mix self-paced study, live online tutorials, and in-person skills days so teams can learn with minimal service disruptions.
  • Workplace-based learning: Apply new skills with your own caseload, supported by mentoring, peer triads, and reflective practice groups.
  • Recognition of prior learning: Experienced clinicians can receive credit for relevant study and practice, then focus on any gaps.
  • Assessment clinics and coaching: Observe, practise, and receive feedback on test administration, scoring, interpretation, and communication with families.
  • CPD and governance ready: Learning outcomes align with HCPC standards, AHP frameworks, and local clinical governance, making appraisal and portfolio building straightforward.

Skills that matter across sectors

NHS and Integrated Care

  • Use EASI data to inform differential reasoning and care pathways, including referral, triage, and step-up or step-down decisions.
  • Communicate clear, person-led goals and outcomes to MDT colleagues, commissioners, and families.
  • Embed outcome tracking and service evaluation for quality improvement and audit.

Social Care

  • Translate sensory findings into practical adjustments in homes, short breaks, and community settings.
  • Co-create plans that enhance participation, self-care, and family routines, with attention to safeguarding and consent.
  • Support staff training that is trauma-informed and neuroaffirming, with simple measures to monitor change.

Education

  • Link EASI constructs to functional participation in classrooms, playgrounds, and exams.
  • Advise on reasonable adjustments, sensory supports, and motor learning strategies that promote access to the curriculum.
  • Work with SENCo’s and teachers to co-produce targets that align with EHCP processes and school improvement plans.

Third Sector and Community

  • Design group and community programmes that are strengths-based and culturally responsive.
  • Train volunteers and support workers to recognise sensory needs and use everyday strategies safely.
  • Report outcomes to funders with clear participation indicators, well-being, and family feedback.

Contribution to neuroaffirming, client-centred care across the lifespan

  • Affirming differences: EASI informed language describes strengths and needs without pathologising, supporting shared decision making.
  • A developmental story that travels: Early EASI findings help teams understand later challenges and guide age-appropriate tools and supports in adolescence and adulthood.
  • Consistent frameworks: A common assessment language improves MDT communication and service continuity.
  • Stronger evidence for better services: Standardised measurement allows teams to track change, evaluate programmes, and share learning.

If you are training in ASI, choose a flexible pathway that builds real-world skill, supports supervision, and keeps your practice person-led, evidence-based, and proudly neuroaffirming.
