Sensory Assessment with Strategies and Report

If your child is overwhelmed by noise, struggles with clothing textures, seeks movement constantly, or reacts strongly to sensory input in ways that affect daily life, a sensory assessment can identify what is happening and provide practical strategies for home and school.

What's included

Everything included at €450

1

Parent interview and history

A detailed discussion of your child's sensory behaviours across different environments: home, school, mealtimes and bedtime. This shapes the assessment and ensures the strategies are relevant to your child's actual daily experience.

2

Standardised sensory questionnaires

Validated tools to profile your child's sensory processing across all sensory systems: tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, visual, auditory, and interoceptive.

3

Clinical observation and activities

Observation of your child's responses to sensory input through structured activities. This gives the therapist a direct picture of sensory seeking, avoidance, or registration difficulties.

4

Tailored sensory strategies

Practical strategies explained and trialled during the appointment. These are tools for home, school, and transitions that fit your child's specific sensory profile.

5

Written report within one week

A written report summarising findings, sensory profile, and specific strategies for home and school. Accepted by schools, NEPS, and class teachers for accommodation planning.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What age can children have a sensory assessment?

There is no minimum age. Sensory assessments can be completed from toddler age through adolescence. The tools and approach are adapted to the child's age and developmental level.

Does my child need a diagnosis to have a sensory assessment?

No. Many children have sensory processing difficulties without a formal diagnosis. A sensory assessment can be booked directly by parents and does not require a referral.

What is the difference between a sensory assessment and an initial assessment?

A sensory assessment focuses specifically on sensory processing and provides targeted strategies. An initial assessment is more comprehensive and covers motor coordination, handwriting, self-care, and executive function in addition to sensory processing. If you are unsure which is right for your child, email us and we will advise.

Will the report be useful for school?

Yes. Sensory assessment reports include specific recommendations for teachers and SNAs: strategies for the classroom, transitions, and exam environments. These are accepted by schools and can support accommodation requests.
