Zoe Mailloux & Patricia Grady Dominguez - Updates on the EASI | ISIC2022
In this update from ISIC 2022, Zoe Mailloux and Patricia Grady Dominguez discuss the progress of the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) project. Guided by the theme "children understood," the project focuses on comprehensive assessments in Ayres sensory integration. The global initiative involves 20 regions with dedicated leads, having collected data from over 2,200 children since August 2019. Using the Rasch model for analysis, the project ensures test validity and reliability. New tests, such as the tactile perception oral test, measure various levels of child ability. Despite pandemic challenges, the team continues to build a robust dataset, providing valuable insights for clinicians and researchers into sensory integration and child development.
