The Sensory Profile 2 quickly assesses and organizes examinee information, generates scores, and produces accurate, comprehensive reports. These significantly revised questionnaires provide caregivers and teachers with deeper insight to help customize the next steps of intervention.
Benefits
- Make theory-based decisions leveraging principles of neuroscience, sensory processing, strengths-based approaches, and ecological models embedded in the items and scoring structure.
- Identify and document how sensory processing may be contributing to or interfering with a child's participation at home, school, and the community.
- Contribute valuable information to a comprehensive assessment of the child's sensory strengths and challenges in context.
- Develop effective treatment plans, interventions, and everyday remediation strategies.
Features
Using paper-and-pencil or online administration, caregivers and teachers report on the child's response to sensory events throughout the day.
- Combined questionnaire and score forms: Infant, Toddler, Child, Short, and School Companion forms in one manual.
- Spanish versions of the Caregiver Forms.
- Expanded age range: Child, Short, and School Companion forms age increased to 14:11 to give more flexibility in assessing preteens and younger teens.

- Cut scores with optional percentiles for an additional level of analysis.
