Sensory Assessments

At Butterfly Health Group, our Sensory Assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of how an individual processes and responds to sensory information in their environment. These assessments are essential in identifying sensory preferences, sensitivities, and challenges that may impact daily functioning, learning, behaviour, or emotional well-being. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based tools and observations to build a clear sensory profile, allowing us to create practical and individualised recommendations that support regulation, participation, and overall quality of life.

What is a Sensory Assessment?

A Sensory Assessment evaluates how the brain and body interpret input from the senses — including touch, sound, movement, sight, taste, smell, and internal sensations (such as body awareness). Difficulties in sensory processing can affect focus, mood, behaviour, and participation in everyday activities.

Through structured assessments, interviews, and observations, we identify whether an individual is over-responsive, under-responsive, or sensory-seeking across various sensory areas. This information helps guide personalised strategies and therapy plans to enhance regulation and engagement.
