A Sensory Integration Framework that speaks to each person’s unique sensory pattern, reflecting the richness of human neurodiversity across the lifespan.

Grounded in the principles of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI), the Be SMART™ framework supports individuals in understanding and using sensory information to enhance regulation, engagement, and participation in everyday life.
