Sensation Seeking - Typical Performance

This pattern of seeking sensation is just like peers. This means that the child responds to sensory events ‘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 ‘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.
