The Sensory Processing Scale

The Sensory Processing Scale is a tool used to evaluate how an individual perceives and responds to sensory information from their environment, such as sights, sounds, touch, and movement. It helps identify whether a person is highly sensitive, under-responsive, or has difficulty integrating sensory input, which can impact daily functioning. The scale provides a way for therapists and caregivers to understand sensory preferences and challenges, guiding personalized strategies to improve comfort, attention, and overall well-being. Essentially, it maps out how someone processes sensory signals to support a more balanced and adaptable sensory experience.
