Can someone explain these results to me?
(Canada)
My son is 5, and was diagnosed a couple months ago with SPD. He had his profile done, but we're still waiting to start OT, and to get the results from them. In the meantime, I was sent the link to the scoring key, and here are his results:
Sensory Processing -
Auditory Processing: definite more
Visual Processing: probable more
Vestibular Processing: definite more
Tactile Processing - definite more
Multisensory Processing: probable more
Oral Processing: probable more
Sensory Processing related to Endurance/Tone: probable more
Modulation of Movement Affecting Activity Level: definite more
Modulation of Visual Input Affecting Emotional Responses and Activity Level: probable more
Emotional/Social Responses: probable more
Then, the 9 Classifications -
Sensory Seeking: probable more
Emotionally Reactive: probable more
Low Endurance/Tone: probable more
Oral Sensitivity: probable more
Inattention/Distractibility: definite more
Sedentary: definite more
Finally, the 4 Quadrants -
Registration: definite more
Seeking: definite more
Sensitivity: definite more
Avoiding: definite more
So... what does all of this mean? It sure seems he has a lot of areas that are problems. What's the difference between the sensory processing scores, the classification scores and the quadrants? As in the classification scores it says "Sensory Seeking - probable more", but then the quadrant scores him as definite more sensory seeking - and how can you be seeking and avoiding at the same time?
