Assessment

Adult/Adolescent Sensory History (ASH)

Based on the conceptual model of sensory processing and sensory integration proposed by A. Jean Ayres, this measure is designed to identify differences in five key areas of functioning: Sensory Discrimination, Sensory Modulation, Postural-Ocular Skills, Praxis, and Social-Emotional Functioning.

Numerous standardized sub-scores assist with identification of discrete patterns of function in processing and integrating sensory information, improving  clinical utility in treatment planning.
