Sensory profiles in Adelaide and South Australia
A sensory profile helps build an understanding of how a person notices, processes and responds to sensory information in everyday life. It can help identify patterns, preferences, strengths and situations where the environment may create additional demands.
Why complete a sensory profile?
Understanding sensory experiences can help individuals, families, educators and support teams make more informed decisions about environments, routines and practical supports.
A neuro-affirming approach
Disability SA approaches sensory profiling from a strengths-based, neuro-affirming perspective. The aim is not to make a person appear less neurodivergent, but to better understand their experience and identify supports or environmental changes that may improve comfort, participation and wellbeing.
