Return to the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile Summary

Sensation Avoiding - Probable Difference - More than others

What the score means: This child responds to stimuli ‘probably more than others’. For Sensation Avoiding, this means that the child responds ‘seldom’ to ‘occasionally’; children typically respond less often than this to stimuli in their environment 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 more than about 84% of peers, about the same as 14% of peers and less than 2% of peers. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
