Sensory Sensitivity - Typical Performance

What the score means: This pattern of sensitivity is just like peers. This means that the child ‘seldom’ detects stimuli 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.
