CLASI Webinar - Children and Families Understood
We are pleased to announce CLASI's 2026 webinar series, “Children and Families Understood”
Join us for six practical sessions where experts will share their insights on the latest developments and applications of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI). From refining assessment tools like the EASI and building collaborative research, to developing outcome measures and expanding global access, this series is designed for occupational therapists, researchers, and advocates dedicated to supporting children and families.
Building and Refining Assessment Tools of Ayres Sensory Integration®
In this rich conversation, Zoe Mailloux, Patricia Grady-Dominguez, and Marco Leão take us behind the scenes of how assessment tools in Ayres Sensory Integration® are developed, tested, refined, and interpreted. From the early development to the evolution of the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI), this session explores the science, collaboration, and clinical thinking that shape the tools we use today.
Reliability and Validity of ASI Assessments: A Matter of Trust
In this second session of the Children and Families Understood webinar series, four internationally recognized experts explore the psychometric foundations of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) assessments and why reliability and validity are essential for evidence-based occupational therapy. Featuring Drs. Isabelle Beaudry Bellefeuille, Berta Gándara-Gafo, Jennifer Petersen, and Roseann C. Schaaf, this webinar examines how reliability and validity are established, why they matter for clinical decision-making, and how strong measurement ultimately leads to better understanding children and families.
