SAI
SAI for Adults & Adolescents
We recommend attending training at Ash Cottage and its regulating garden spaces to fully experience the
different elements of the SAI Model.
This course is one of the Foundation Training Courses.
This six day course trains therapists in the use of Sensory Attachment Intervention with adults and adolescents.
This course introduces Sensory Attachment Intervention (SAI). It trains therapists in the use of the Just Right State Programme (JRS) for Adults and Adolescents, and in the use of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Profile Questionnaire. SAI looks at the process of regulation and co-regulation from an integrative and neurosequential perspective.
The Just Right State Programme can be used with individuals, groups or families. It focuses on developing the capacity for self-regulation, co-regulation and reflective functioning. The Just Right State Programme was developed for individuals who struggled to participate in intervention programmes because of their incapacity to regulate their emotional states. The Autonomic Nervous System Profile Questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire that looks at indicators of stress, survival behaviour responses and self-regulating behaviours. It is an exploratory tool for use with individuals to help formulate their regulating needs.
