Evaluation in Ayres’ Sensory Integration | EASI

The purpose of the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) is to provide a valid and reliable set of tests for assessing key sensory integration functions which underlie learning, behavior, and participation.

The EASI measures sensory perception, postural/ocular/bilateral motor integration, praxis, and sensory reactivity, in a manner that minimizes the influences of culture, language comprehension, and prior experience.

The EASI tests are currently being normed for children 3-12 years of age and will be made available to appropriately trained professionals, in a low-cost and accessible format.
