Which sensory areas are assessed using the Sensory Profile?

• A. Auditory, Tactile, Vestibular, Oral Sensory, General Processing
• B. Auditory and Visual
• C. Tactile and Proprioceptive
• D. Vestibular and Olfactory

Answer: (A)

The Sensory Profile is a caregiver- or teacher-completed tool that gauges how a child processes sensory information across multiple everyday life contexts. It looks at several sensory pathways to understand typical responses and identify patterns like over- or under-responsiveness and sensory seeking. The best choice reflects the actual areas assessed: auditory processing, tactile processing, vestibular processing, oral sensory processing, and overall/general processing. This combination captures how a child handles sounds, touch, movement, and mouth-related sensations, plus an overall sense of how they organize and respond to sensoryinput. Other options are incomplete because they list only a couple of modalities or include domains not central to this profile’s standard domains (for example, it doesn’t focus solely on visual or olfactory in the way those choices imply).
