Exploring the incidence of sensory processing difficulties in children

Children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect often develop self-regulatory strategies which impact on their capacity to engage in day-to-day activities and relationships. This study looked at Take Two clients aged 7 months to 7.10 years (n=53) who were assessed using the carer-rated Sensory Profile (Dunn 2014), between February 2016 and March 2017.
