Return to the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile Summary

Sensation Seeking - Probable Difference - Less than others

What the score means: When a child obtains this score, it means the child ‘seldom’ seeks stimuli. Typically, children seek stimuli ‘frequently’ to ‘occasionally’ during everyday life.

Since all the cut scores on the Infant/ Toddler 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.
