Adolescent / Adult Sensory Profile
Identify sensory processing patterns in everyday life activities
View ProductsThe Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile enables clients to evaluate themselves through the use of a Self-Questionnaire. Evaluate the possible contributions of sensory processing to the client’s daily performance patterns and obtain information about everyday sensory experiences and the impact on behaviour in different settings.
Use for identifying and developing client awareness and strategies to optimise the desired sensory environment. Generates an individualised profile of sensory processing across four quadrants: low registration, sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation avoiding. Reproducible charts provide an intervention matrix across the quadrants and six sensory processing categories:
- taste/smell processing
- movement processing
- visual processing
- touch processing
- activity level
- auditory processing
The Adult Sensory Profile can be administered through OSA, ROSA or Manual Entry (in combination with the paper form when using Q-Global for scoring/reporting).
Applicable for adolescents and adults with or without a diagnosed disability. A standardised instrument to measure sensory processing; promotes theory based decision making and intervention planning.
Professionals who do not have expertise or training in sensory processing should consult with an Occupational Therapist when interpreting the results of this assessment. Training in the administration and interpretation of this test is available from Pearson Clinical Assessment.

Technical Information
Scoring and Interpretation
The quadrant scores derived from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile represent patterns of sensory processing as described in Dunn's (1997a) Model of Sensory Processing. Based on the intersection of two continua (neurological threshold and behavioural response/self-regulation), this model describes quadrants identified as Low Registration, Sensation Seeking, Sensory Sensitivity, and Sensation Avoiding. Each quadrant has its own score; it is possible for an individual to have any combination of scores. Some patterns that seem to be mutually exclusive (e.g., sensation seeking and sensation avoiding) may be present in the same individual.
