The Sensory Profile assesses the following number of sensory areas according to the material?

• A. Five areas
• B. Four areas
• C. Three areas
• D. Six areas

Answer: (A)

The test is looking at how a child processes different kinds of sensory input in daily life, across distinct sensory domains. In the Sensory Profile, these domains are five: auditory (hearing), visual (sight), tactile (touch), vestibular (movement and balance), and proprioceptive (body awareness and position). The questionnaire gathers caregiver observations across everyday activities to see how the child responds in each area, helping to identify patterns such as over-responsivity, under-responsivity, or craving of sensory input. Since the material you’re using defines five sensory areas, five is the best answer. (Note: some versions or texts may mention an additional taste/smell domain, but this material specifies five areas.)
