Low Registration - Typical Performance

What the score means: For Low Registration, a typical score means that the child is noticing about the same as peers. All the items in this quadrant are worded to reflect missing cues (i.e., not noticing); therefore, a typical score in Low Registration means the child ‘seldom’ to ‘never’ misses cues during everyday life.

Since all the cut scores on the Sensory Profile are based on the normal bell curve, a ‘typical’ score means that the child responds about the same as 68% of peers. Approximately 16% of peers engage in behaviors more than children in this group, and approximately 16% of peers engage in behaviors less than children in this group. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
