REGISTRATION FORM ATTACHED ON FINAL PAGE
The four course series is designed for individuals seeking in-depth knowledge in sensory
integration theory and practice. Upon completing all four courses, within 5 years,
participants are eligible for Certification in Sensory Integration, including Administering
and Interpreting the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test™. This certificate, issued by the
USC Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and Western Psychological
Services, acknowledges competency in several areas:
The theoretical foundations of sensory integration
Clinical reasoning strategies for using SI in practice
Identifying the contributions of sensory integration to development
Administering the SIPT, the Sensory Processing Measure, clinical observations and related
measures
Interpreting evaluation results from research findings from SIPT and related measures
Planning intervention strategies
Implementing intervention using sensory strategies in various contexts
Benefits of the four-course series include:
World-renowned instructors
The USC/WPS courses were developed by eminent leaders in the field of occupational
therapy who studied directly with Dr. A. Jean Ayres, founder of the sensory integration
frame of reference; Ayres Sensory Integration®. All instructors are occupational therapy

scholars, researchers or master clinicians with expertise in sensory processing and
sensory-related deficits.
Comprehensive training
Each five-day course provides 30 contact hours of opportunity for continuing education
credit.
Practical knowledge
Learn clinical reasoning and practical intervention techniques that you can immediately
implement in practice and daily life.

Course 1: The Sensory
Integration Perspective
(Theoretical Foundation)
DATES: May 18-22, 2015
Venue: Advance Therapy Systems, Ltd. Santry Clinic
Unit C3 Santry Business Park, Swords Road, Dublin 9
Course Cost: 800 individually
750 when purchased together (courses I-IV)
Lunch provided
This course is open to Allied Healthcare and Educational
professionals including Speech and Language Therapists,
Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists,
Teachers
Course 1 provides both an overview of sensory integration
and in-depth information on its theoretical foundations, basic
science supporting the theory and evidence supporting the
evolution of theory for practice. The theory is broken down
into the functional contributions of the individual sensory
systems, praxis and their impact on everyday activities. This
information is used to identify an individual’s deviations
from typical sensory integration and praxis abilities and
provide insight into methods and procedures used in sensory
integrative intervention strategies.
Learning Objectives
Following this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify the different sensory systems and their
contributions to daily life
• Identify the basic principles of sensory integration
• List several sensory strategies that can be used at home, at
school, and in the community to enhance function
• Explain to clients the relationship of sensory integration to
typical and atypical development
• Describe the roles of the individual sensory systems in
human activity
• Discuss praxis and its role in performance and behavior
• Relate the spectrum of sensory integrative functions to
occupation
Course 2: Specialized
Techniques for Measurement
in Sensory Integration
DATES: 2016
Venue: Advance Therapy Systems, Ltd. Santry Clinic
Unit C3 Santry Business Park, Swords Road, Dublin 9
Course Cost: 800 individually
750 when all are purchased together (courses
I-IV)
Lunch provided
This course is open to Allied Healthcare professionals
including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational
Therapists and Physiotherapists
Course 2 provides in-depth training in using and
understanding measures of sensory integration. Emphasis is
place on learning to administer the SIPT, clinical
observations and related measures. These measures are
discussed relative to the individual functions they assess and
their relevance to presenting problems and intervention.
Learning Objectives
Following this course, participants will be able to:
• Demonstrate basic competency in administering the
Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests
• Identify a variety of tests and observations that can be
applied in diverse settings to assess sensory integration
• Describe the functional implications of the abilities
assessed by the SIPT and related measures
Course 3: From Interpretation to
Intervention
DATES: 2016
Venue: Advance Therapy Systems, Ltd. Santry Clinic
Unit C3 Santry Business Park, Swords Road, Dublin 9
Course Cost: 800 individually
750 when purchased together (courses I-IV)
Lunch provided
This course is open to Allied Healthcare professionals
including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational
Therapists and Physiotherapists
Course 3 provides information necessary for interpreting
assessment data, and for using this data to plan intervention
strategies. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis and
interpretation of SIPT results. The use of case studies
demonstrates the clinical reasoning process in interpreting
assessment results and using this information to plan and
implement intervention. This course trains participants to use
and understand the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test™
and other related measures of sensory functions so that
clients with a variety of diagnoses and referring problems
can be assessed using the SIPT as the “gold standard.” The
use of case studies demonstrates the clinical reasoning
process in interpreting assessment results and using this
information for intervention planning and implementation.
Learning Objectives
Following this course, participants will be able to:
• Analyze and interpret measures of sensory integration, with
particular emphasis on SIPT results
• Describe patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction by
placing individual test results within the framework
identified through research
• Plan intervention programs in a variety of settings for
children identified as having sensory integrative
dysfunction
• Describe the relationship between assessment results and
the functional performance at home, at school, and in
the community
• Identify the ways in which research supports assessment
and intervention
Course 4: Sensory Integration
Intervention
DATES: May 18-22, 2015
Venue: Advance Therapy Systems, Ltd. Santry Clinic

Therapists and Physiotherapists
Course 4, provides clinical reasoning strategies for designing
and implementing intervention using a sensory integration
frame of reference.
Learning Objectives
Following this course, participants will be able to:
• Use clinical reasoning skills to interpret behaviors that
might have a sensory integrative basis
• Plan and provide intervention programs for children with
sensory integrative dysfunction
• Explain the rationale behind the use of an activity to
facilitate adaptive responses
• Explain the relationship of an adaptive response to a child’s
occupational engagement
• Implement intervention with a wide variety of pediatric
disabilities from a sensory integrative frame of reference
• Implement sensory strategies in various settings, including
home, school, and community
• Implementing intervention using sensory integration
