Visual Processing - Probable difference - Less than others

What the score means: This child responds to things seen ‘probably less than others’. For Visual processing, this means that the child ‘seldom’ responds to visual input; children this age typically respond more often than this to visual experiences in everyday life.

Since all the cut scores on the Sensory Profile are based on the normal bell curve, a ‘probable difference’ score means that the child responds less than about 84% of peers, about the same as 14% of peers and more than 2% of peers. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
