Support Resource: Sensory Profile
This sensory profile and plan for support has been created to get to know a student or client quickly. To understand their sensory needs and how to respond to them effectively and efficiently.
People on the autism spectrum often experience sensory processing issues that may present in a number of ways. The impact of these sensory sensitivities and sensory needs can be significant, and what can be perceived as inappropriate behaviour, may be a sensory response to an uncomfortable stimulus.
This document is a profile and a strategy planning tool that has been designed to support families, carers, support workers, teachers and clinicians that need detailed information about sensory needs.
It is a questionnaire that is broken into 8 sensory components. We have 8 different sensory systems and a person may experience processing difficulties in one or more systems:
1. Tactile
2. Gustatory
3. Olfactory
4. Visual
5. Auditory
6. Proprioception
7. Vestibular
8. Interoception
The second part of this tool has a visual sensory profile, general strategies for supporting people with sensory needs and a participant sensory monitoring and support record.
