Clinician's Guide: Implementing Ayres Sensory Integration - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Clinician's Guide Implementing Ayres Sensory Integration(R) describes the sensory integrative approach, as developed by A. Jean Ayres (1972, 1979) and now referred to as Ayres Sensory Integration(R) (ASI). The ASI approach fosters the child's active participation in physical, social, and functional activities using active, individually tailored, sensory-rich experiences contextualized in play at the just-right challenge-which leads to adaptive responses that facilitate development and participation in daily activities.

In detailing their manualized, evidence-based approach tested in randomized controlled trials and supported by the latest research, the authors offer a practical, accessible playbook for both the implementation of and communication about this approach. Whether you work directly with children and families or conduct research, you will find useful ideas, tools, and processes to inform your work. Information on sensory integration patterns, assessment, hypothesis and goal generation, intervention, and progress monitoring is presented via the Data Driven Decision Making (DDDM) framework and brought to life through case studies, information on the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI), and an extensive caregiver education section. This specific approach has utility far beyond research and the autistic population and can be utilized in many areas of practice with many populations.
