The Sensory Processing Measure

The Sensory Processing Measure (SPM) is a tool used by professionals to assess how individuals process sensory information from their environment—such as sound, touch, movement, and body awareness. It helps identify if sensory sensitivities or differences might be affecting daily activities, learning, or behavior. The assessment gathers input from parents, teachers, and sometimes the individual, providing a comprehensive view of sensory functioning across home and school settings. This information aids in designing tailored strategies or interventions to support better sensory integration and overall well-being.
