Sensory processing (sometimes referred to as Sensory Integration) refers to the way the nervous system receives, processes and modulates sensory information. Simply put, this means how we experience, interpret and react to (or ignore) information coming from our senses. Sensory processing is important in all the things that we need to do daily, such as getting dressed, eating, moving around, socialising, learning and working (Sensory Integration Education, 2024)[1].

The Sensory Profile™ 2 family of assessments provides standardised tools to help evaluate a child's sensory processing patterns in the context of home, school, and community-based activities.[1]

In addition, the screening assessment helps contribute valuable information to a wider comprehensive assessment of the child's sensory strengths and challenges. As a result, this allows professionals working with the child to develop effective treatment plans, interventions, and everyday remediation strategies.

Note:
The term ‘Sensory Processing Disorder’ is not recognised as an independent diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (American Psychiatric Association 2013)[1] and should be avoided. Sensory differences are, however, listed as symptoms of other disorders including autism.
