SAI Foundation Module 

Part One & Two

Covid 19 Statement

We wish to inform you that our training courses will now be provided online until conditions are deemed safe to return to site based training. The courses are currently being redesigned to suit the new format.  A number of our courses had to be postponed during lockdown. We will shortly be publishing our new time table. If you are booked on one of our postponed courses we will be contacting you individually. If you are booked on a SAI course at a venue other than Ash Cottage contact the host organiser directly. 

For further information contact traininginsai@gmail.com

The foundation module is taught in two parts. Each part is also a stand-alone course and can be done in any order.

Both parts have to be completed before proceeding on the training pathway and attending other SAI courses. This course is open to all Therapists and Practitioners with an undergraduate degree in Health, Social Care or Education.

Part One

Introduction to SAI: The Impact of Developmental Trauma and Insecure Attachment on Sensory Processing.    

​

£525

This three-day course will look at the theories that provide the framework for SAI. Emphasis will be on the impact of trauma on sensory processing, and on the capacity for self and co-regulation.

Participants will learn the neurosequential approach to intervention; that is, when it is most effective to use interventions such as narrative work, play therapy, and education.

They will learn the principles of up-regulation and down-regulation to enable physiological adaptation for social engagement and academic learning.

​

Part Two

Attachment: Parent child Relationships: An Integrative Approach to Assessment and Intervention*

​

£450

​

This three-day course aims to examine contemporary attachment theory in the context of other theories. The focus will be on enabling participants to explore the ways in which an attachment lens can inform our understanding of parent/child interactions and family dynamics with a view to formulating more effective interventions.

*Exemptions: attendance at the 'Part Two: Attachment Parent Child Relationships: An Integrative Approach to Assessment and Intervention' course is not required if you have attended Crittenden’s Attachment & Pathology Course or are trained in the use of assessment tools using the DMM model.
