Sensory Processing Screener

Sensory Processing Screener (SPS)

Sensory processing refers to how the brain receives, interprets, and responds to sensory input from the environment. Differences in sensory processing are very common in autistic people and those with ADHD, but they also occur in people who don't identify with any diagnosis.

Sensory differences can mean being over-sensitive (finding stimuli overwhelming) or under-sensitive (seeking out more intense input). Both are valid experiences — this screener explores both.

Four sensory domains explored:

Auditory: How you process sounds — sensitivity to volume, pitch, and background noise.
Visual: How you process light and visual stimuli — sensitivity to brightness, flicker, and visual clutter.
Tactile: How you process touch, texture, and physical sensation.
Body Awareness: Proprioceptive and vestibular processing — body position, movement, pressure, and balance.
