• D. 200 questions

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the Sensory Profile is a caregiver questionnaire designed to map how a child responds to sensory input across everyday situations. The full version uses 125 items, which allows the form to cover a wide range of sensory experiences and contexts—touch, movement, sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and how the child reacts in daily activities and social situations. Each item gauges how often a particular sensory-related behavior occurs, and the results yield a profile across four patterns: sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, sensory sensitivity, and low registration. The breadth provided by 125 items is what makes it the standard length for the full assessment. Shorter versions exist for screening or quicker use, which is why other total-item counts don’t apply to the full version.
