Training route
I need help choosing a route
There is not one sensory learning route that is right for everyone. The best starting point depends on your role, what you already know and what you need to be able to do in practice.
Which of these sounds most like what you need?
You do not need to know the name of the course before you begin. Start with what you want the learning to support.
I want sensory awareness for everyday practice
You want to understand sensory differences and consider how environments, interactions and activities can support comfort, participation and everyday life.
Suitable across whole workforcesI am a therapist developing my sensory practice
You want to develop observation, clinical reasoning, participation focused formulation and intervention skills within your professional scope of practice.
Professional developmentI want specialist Ayres Sensory Integration education
You are an eligible therapist looking for structured postgraduate level education in Ayres Sensory Integration, including specialist assessment and intervention.
Specialist therapist routeI am planning learning for a team or service

Managers and organisationsExplore the full Learning Route
Our Learning Route brings the different levels of education together so you can see where introductory learning, professional development and specialist sensory integration education fit.
You can move through learning over time. You do not need to choose the furthest point in the pathway today.
Already know roughly what you need?
You can browse the current courses and workshops and read the full information about each learning opportunity.
Are you choosing learning for a team?
Not everybody needs to become a sensory specialist. Different roles may need different levels of knowledge, confidence and professional capability.
If you are planning learning across a service or organisation, our manager and commissioner help page is a better place to start.
Still unsure which route fits?
That is absolutely fine. Tell us a little about your role, your setting, any learning you have already completed and what you hope to be able to do next. We can help you identify the most appropriate starting point.
