Title: What is Sensory Profile Assessment and Analysis


1
What is Sensory Profile Assessment and Analysis
  • Sensory profile assessment and analysis evaluates
    different sensory processing patterns of various
    individuals and identifies its effect on their
    active participation at home, school, or in
    community-based activities. It is a test that
    identifies how a childs behavior is influenced
    by their ability to process their senses.

2
What is Sensory Processing?
  • Sensory information can be processed from
    different sensory modalities. These could be
    visual (what we see), olfaction (what we smell),
    gustatory (what we taste), auditory (what we
    hear), tactile (what we feel through the skin),
    vestibular and proprioceptive (how our limbs are
    positioned and where we are in space).

Assessment and Analysis of Sensory Processing in
Children
  • Assessment of sensory processing involves the use
    of standardized tests, administration of
    questionnaires, and clinical observations.
    Sensory profile assessment tests can be
    administered to children right from birth to 14
    years of age. There are about 15 tests available
    primarily for the US population.

4
What is a Sensory Meltdown?
  • Sensory meltdown is a flight, fright, or freeze
    response to sensory overload when the brain is
    maxed out on sensations. Very often, sensory
    meltdowns are beyond the childs control, its a
    reaction to sensory stimuli or something in the
    environment. It could be as a result of
    difficulties in sensory processing and often
    mistaken for tantrum.
