Clinician’s Guide to Implementing Ayres Sensory Integration®: Promoting Participation for Children With Autism
By Roseann Schaaf, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, and Zoe Mailloux, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA
This step-by-step guidebook describes the most effective, evidence-based way to implement ASI into clinical practice by using a data-driven decision-making approach. Practical information guides practitioners in methodologically understanding the child and creating effective interventions with measurable outcomes. Forms and case examples throughout the text allow readers to efficiently apply ASI in pediatric practice.
Highlights include an overview of autism and sensory integration, identifying a child’s strengths and challenges, conducting a comprehensive assessment, and measuring outcomes and monitoring progress. Includes a flash drive with forms.
