All about ASI WISE
About ASI Wise
ASI Wise is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2017 in response to changes within the SI Network. Our mission is to provide affordable, accessible, hands-on training in Ayres’ Sensory Integration (ASI) for occupational therapists across the UK and Ireland.
Led by experienced OT clinicians and educators, Amanda Adamson, Kath Smith and Ros Urwin, we focus on delivering high-quality education that supports learning essential assessment and intervention skills—especially those that cannot be taught online.
While we support the EASI project, this is not why we were founded. We were established to preserve and protect clinically grounded, in-person ASI learning and to maintain a strong, practitioner-led community of practice.

EASI Project
Join the EASI UK & Ireland Team
The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) is a free tool designed to assess key sensory integration functions—perception, responsiveness, motor planning, and integration—while minimising the influence of culture or language.
We’re recruiting children aged 3–12 years in the UK and Ireland to help build international normative data. The goal is to expand the EASI for use across the lifespan.
Country Leads:
Regional Lead (UK & Ireland): Kath Smith (OT)
England: Ros Urwin
Scotland: Amanda Adamson

Research Update: Early alterations of social brain networks in young children with autism
In this study, the researchers were able to suggest that there are “frequency specific alterations in the driving of information flow from brain areas implicated in social information processing during the viewing of naturalistic dynamic social images in toddlers and preschool with ASD” and that these occur in the early stages of ASD. These findings support […]
