sensory assessment 

Our sensors regulate our Central Nervous System helping us to interact and participate in everyday activities. A sensory Assessment explores how we or our children process the information received from our sensors and how this influences the way in which we act, behave & function.

It delves into unique sensory preferences, the input we detect, seek, are sensitive too and avoid and gauges thresholds of tolerance. By increasing understanding of unique sensory preferences, this assessment drives strategies to gently increase tolerance by implementing adaptations to environments and interactions to promote desired optimal states of arousal.
