What is the Sensory Processing Measure 2 (SPM-2)?
The SPM-2 is a valuable standardized questionnaire for understanding sensory experiences and identifying potential areas of difficulty. This screening can help you gain insights into how you or your child processes sensory information, which can inform strategies to support their development and well-being.
It can be used on people from 4 months to 87 years old, and is divided into five age levels: infant/toddler, preschool, child, adolescent, and adult.
Evaluation using the SPM-2 scores is completed by an Occupational Therapist holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Sensory Integration Therapy. This complies with the publisher's Level C requirements.

Sensory Screening further Details and Costings
Sensory Screening: This is an initial screening to help evaluate sensory processing areas of difficulty. First, you will be asked to complete online questionnaires including the Sensory Processing Measure 2 (SPM-2) see What is the Sensory Processing Measure 2 (SPM-2).
Once the online questionnaires have been completed they will be scored, and the evaluating OT will review and document the results. The document and evaluation notes will then be forwarded to you, this should take no longer than 5-10 working days. If you then decide to go ahead with a follow up consultation this can also be booked through bookings.
Extra form for Place of Education (Optional): This is an additional screening form that is completed by someone who has regular contact with the child or young person at their place of education. We strongly encourage this, as it allows for comparisons to be made between an individual's presentations across their differrent environments.
Follow up Consultation (Optional, see details in Breakdown table below): This is a follow-up consultation to discuss the results of the initial screening and develop a personalised plan. Note that an sensory screening would need to be carried out prior to booking a consultation.
The consultation is a 45min (video call meeting) plus writeup and can be booked with or after an Sensory Screening.
