Overview
Thinking about setting up your own ASI space, be that as a mobile therapist or within a hired space or you creating your own ASI clinic?
This short CPD course run by Moyna Talcer, an Occupational Therapist with 20 years’ clinical experience and an Advanced Practitioner in Ayres' Sensory Integration, is designed to give you all the practical advice that you need to set up your own ASI clinic.
During her career, Moyna has worked in schools, and people’s places of work and homes; in various rented spaces; until, eventually, she spent two years designing and building her own bespoke ASI clinic.
Hear what she thought were the best things to spend time and money on and how she would do it differently if she were to create her own clinic again.
Includes a bonus video with Mike Brooke, National Sales Manager of Southpaw UK, who discusses the precise requirements of the different kinds of suspension equipment that are suitable for owned or hired spaces and for mobile therapists.

My Journey into Sensory Integration
My journey into SI started in 2008. I was working with adult (PMLD with Autism) and I recall thinking,“this is the key that will unlock my clients potential”, since then SI has transformed my practice and deepened my clinical reasoning.
I worked for the NHS for over 15 years, mostly in paediatrics (specialising in Autism Spectrum Disorders, Dyspraxia and Sensory processing difficulties, where I delivered SI on a daily basis) and in 2015 to work independently. I am an Advanced Practitioner in Sensory Integration and have mentored SI 4 students for many years. I am passionate about occupational therapy and sensory integration and am thrilled to have been selected to provide Online Mentor-ship to the Sensory Integration level 1 students as they begin their exciting journey into SI.
How I use SI in my practice
I use the principles of Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy daily in assessment, intervention and treatment planning. I offer therapy to children in schools where I have access to a Sensory Integration Clinic and also provide an adapted version within their homes and schools. More recently I have also started to apply the principles of Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy to my Adolescent and Adult clients within their homes and community.
Why I am committed to supporting others to study SI
Since embarking on my own Sensory Integration learning pathway, my clinical practice has transformed, deepened and my clinical reasoning skills acutely honed. I am passionate about the contribution SI has made to not only my practice but our profession as a whole and am fully committed to support others as they embark on the same journey that has transformed my practice all those years ago.
