Supporting MSc and PhD Researchers in Ayres’ Sensory Integration

At ASI Wise & Sensory Project, we are dedicated to supporting postgraduate researchers, MSc and PhD students who are exploring Ayres’ Sensory Integration (ASI) and related fields. We recognise the challenges that come with academic research and are committed to providing the resources, mentorship, and funding support needed to advance high-quality studies that contribute to the field of sensory integration and processing.

Why Research in ASI Matters

Postgraduate research is crucial in furthering our understanding of sensory integration, informing best practices, intervention strategies, and policy development. MSc and PhD researchers play a key role in shaping the future of ASI by:

  • Investigating new approaches to sensory integration assessment and intervention.
  • Expanding the evidence base for clinical applications of ASI in different populations.
  • Exploring the neuroscientific underpinnings of sensory integration and processing.
  • Informing policy and practice in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy.

How We Support MSc & PhD Students

We offer multiple layers of support to researchers in ASI, ensuring they have the guidance and resources needed to excel in their studies:

  • Research Mentorship & Supervision – Access expert guidance from leading researchers and clinicians in ASI.
  • Funding & Sponsorship – We provide opportunities for grants, scholarships, and sponsorships to help MSc and PhD students conduct impactful research.
  • Access to Research Networks – Join a thriving community of professionals and academics working in sensory integration.
  • Ethical & Methodological Support – Get assistance with ethics applications, research design, and methodology to ensure the validity and impact of your study.
  • Workshops & Training – Participate in specialist training courses, research workshops, and educational events to build expertise.
  • Opportunities for Publication & Presentation – Showcase your research through conferences, journal publications, and professional networks.

Collaborate & Contribute to ASI Research

We actively encourage MSc and PhD students to collaborate with clinicians, academics, and organisations to enhance the real-world impact of their research. By joining forces with ASI Wise & Sensory Project, researchers can:

  • Engage in collaborative studies that address pressing clinical and theoretical questions in ASI.
  • Work on projects with real-world applications, ensuring research findings are translatable into practice.
  • Access and contribute to a rich database of existing research to build upon established knowledge.
  • Gain mentorship from experienced professionals, bridging the gap between academic study and clinical practice.
