Sensory Profile Assessment

A standardised assessment of how a person processes and responds to sensory input — guiding therapy planning, school strategies and home environment adjustments.

A sensory profile assessment is carried out by an occupational therapist to understand how a person experiences and responds to the sensory world around them — touch, sound, movement, light, taste and smell. Some people are highly sensitive to certain inputs, others are under-responsive, and many experience both. Understanding this helps explain behaviours and challenges that can otherwise seem puzzling, and leads to practical strategies that make everyday environments more manageable. We conduct sensory profile assessments for both children and adults, using validated tools and producing reports that families, teachers and therapists can genuinely act on.

What the service includes

Standardised sensory assessment

We use validated, age-appropriate sensory processing tools to build a clear and measurable picture of how the person responds to different types of sensory input.

Sensory diet planning

We develop a personalised set of activity recommendations — a sensory diet — to help the person regulate throughout the day and function more comfortably in daily life.

School environment guidance

We provide practical, written recommendations for teachers and school staff to support the child's participation and regulation within the classroom and broader school environment.

Home environment strategies

We identify specific adjustments to the home environment that can reduce sensory overwhelm, support daily routines and help the person feel more settled and regulated.

Plain-language report

Our reports are written to be genuinely readable — clear findings, practical recommendations and language that families, teachers and allied health professionals can all act on.

Support planning documentation

Where an assessment is part of broader support planning, we format the report and findings to align with the documentation requirements of the relevant reviewing body.
