This course is available to occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and speech and language therapists who’ve completed a postgraduate certificate in sensory integration.
There are multiple start dates of each sensory integration module throughout the year. To work out your most appropriate pattern of study, please contact the collaborative course lead Colette Edwards or the Sensory Integration Education Helpdesk to talk about your circumstances, funding arrangements and goals for study.
The postgraduate diploma includes 60 clinical hours across three modules. These clinical hours can be completed in your own workplace – or you can arrange to complete them in another suitable environment.
You’re also supported by mentoring sessions, facilitated by a mentor of your choosing from the SIE register of clinical mentors. In these sessions you’ll develop both your clinical reasoning and intervention skills.
Networking opportunities
You’ll become a member of Sensory Integration Education’s community of best practice when you start your studies – the Association of Sensory Integration Practitioners (ASIP).
