Sensory processing sensitivity scale

The Sensory Processing Sensitivity Scale is a tool used to identify individuals who are highly sensitive to sensory input, like sounds, lights, or emotional cues. People who score high on this scale often process stimuli more deeply and can feel overwhelmed in busy environments. This sensitivity can lead to heightened awareness and empathy, but it may also make certain situations more stressful. The scale helps researchers and mental health professionals understand these traits, fostering better support for those who experience the world with heightened sensitivity.
