Auditory Processing - Definite Difference - More than others

What this score means: This child responds to sounds ‘definitely more than others’. For Auditory processing, this means that the child responds ‘always’ to ‘frequently’; children typically respond less often than this to sound experiences in their environments during everyday life.

Since all the cut scores on the Sensory Profile are based on the normal bell curve, ‘definitely more than others’ score means that the child responds more than about 98% of peers, about the same as 2% of peers. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
