Adult Sensory Processing Scale (ASPS; Blanche, Parham, Chang &
Mallinson, 2014)
The ASPS measures sensory processing in adults and is designed to be
sensitive to individual differences in the population. Participants
respond to 39 items including “I startle easily at unexpected or
loud noises” and “I tend to lean on furniture or other
people” with a 1-5 Likert scale indicating how often they experience
each item, ranging from “never” = 1, through to“always” =5. The items relate to 11 patterns of sensory
processing, including over- and under-responsivity to vestibular,
auditory, visual and tactile information, with higher scores indicating
greater sensory processing difficulties.
