What is a Sensory Assessment?
A Sensory Assessment examines how a child processes and responds to sensory input from their environment. This includes:
Tactile Processing – Sensitivity to touch, textures, and physical contact.
Auditory Processing – Reactions to sounds and background noise.
Visual Processing – Difficulty with tracking, sensitivity to bright lights, or visual clutter.
Vestibular & Proprioception – Balance, coordination, and body awareness.
Gustatory & Olfactory Processing – Sensitivities to certain tastes and smells.
Children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), ASD, ADHD, DCD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions often experience challenges in these areas, impacting their ability to learn, play, and engage comfortably.
Our Process
- Comprehensive Evaluation – Assessing sensory preferences, sensitivities, and responses.
- Tailored Sensory Strategies – Developing personalised plans to manage sensory challenges.
- Practical Interventions – Hands-on techniques and exercises to support sensory regulation.
- Collaborative Approach – Working with parents, teachers, and caregivers for consistent support.
