Quick Sensory Scan

What is this assessment?

The Quick Sensory Scan is a brief screening tool designed to identify possible sensory processing patterns. It examines four key dimensions: seeking, avoiding, detection, and reaction to sensory input.

What will you learn?

This scan will provide insights into activities that may bring pleasure and joy, as well as activities that could support self-regulation and emotional balance. It may also identify sensory experiences that could be overwhelming or require additional support.

Time required

The assessment contains 24 questions and typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
