Directors, Mandy Adamson, Kath Smith and Ros Urwin have led development and research in the assessment, practice and efficacy of Ayres Sensory Integration, with particular expertise as world leaders in the application of Ayres Sensory Integration beyond childhood.
They have worked together since 2005, developing new affordable ways to teach Ayres Sensory Integration to meet the needs of practising therapists.
In 2020 they created and launched a vibrant and dynamic community of practice, which meets weekly via regular Wednesday evening Coffee and Chat sessions.
Our wider team supports our social media media sites, peer learning spaces and research projects includes therapists, expert parents, carers, young people and adults with a lived experience of sensory integration difficulties.
Their passion for their roles was clear during the early hours and days of COVID-19.
This dedicated and committed team dug deep to find the time and extraordinary energy, creating social media spaces to support anyone struggling with sensory integration challenges, manage the chaos and confusion of lockdown
The ASI Wise Team were perfectly placed to be responsive to therapists needs during COVID-19. We offered one of the first webinars about the use of technology in practice; guiding and supporting therapists to translate and innovate – shaping best practice and use of technology in the Spring. Our tutor team is drawn from practising therapists who are working towards the ICEASI instructor standards.
