Adolescent / Adult Sensory Profile

Audience

This course is designed for all B level users interested in using the Sensory Profile.

Course Description

This 3-hour on-demand training includes an overview of Dunn's sensory processing framework, on which the test scores are based, and explains how to interpret the results and use these meaningfully to inform clinical practice.

While it is no longer mandatory to acquire an “approved mentor” to supervise your scoring and reporting of User Level B practice assessments, we strongly recommend that you do so to ensure your administration and practice of assessment usage are accurate.

Your mentor should be an existing User Level B or C and have at least 6-12 months of experience using User Level B assessments.
