International Congress / Scientific Meeting
As per the ICEASI constitution, an international congress/scientific meeting is to be held every year on a different continent: the International Sensory Integration
Congress (ISIC).
The purpose of this regular congress is
- to promote the formal exchange of the latest research related to SI
- to promote informal exchanges of expertise and knowledge
- to support best practice of ASI® education and practical application
- to create research networks studying sensory integration and ASI®.
We welcome participation of non-members who are interested in Ayres Sensory Integration!
ISIC 2023
We are excited to announce this year's international SI congress in Rio De Janeiro on Oct. 12-14, hosted by the Brazilian Sensory Integration Association (ABIS) in partnership with the International Council for Education in Ayres Sensory Integration (ICE-ASI). We believe that the theme of this year's ISIC could not be more relevant: INNOVATIONS IN AYRES' SENSORY INTEGRATION.

ISIC 2022
The next ISIC is taking place at the origins of SI, in Southern California, on July 14-16, 2022 with the title "Sensory Neural Foundations For Social Connection".
Big names in the fields of SI and autism such as Roseann Schaaf, Margret Bauman, Grace Baranek, Anita Bundy, and many more, an intriguing program, and the belated celebration of Dr Ayres 100th birthday will make this congress a once in a lifetime event! Choose between the onsite and the streaming options!
