Sensory Profile Assessment
Sensory Profile Assessment is a tool used to evaluate an individual's sensory processing abilities. It helps to identify how a person responds to sensory stimuli in various environments, which can include:
-
Tactile (touch)
-
Auditory (hear)
-
Visual (see)
-
Olfactory (smell)
-
Gustatory (taste)
-
Vestibular (motion, head position and spatial orientation)
-
Proprioceptive inputs (body’s ability to sense its position, movement, and orientation in space)
-
Interoception (sensing internal signals from the body) ​
​
This assessment is to understand sensory preferences and challenges that may affect daily functioning and learning.
​
The results of a sensory profile assessment can help develop tailored interventions and strategies to support sensory integration, enhance participation in activities, and improve overall quality of life.
