The OT Sensory Screener is a pre-referral screening tool designed to assist teachers and therapists in identifying behaviors that may be linked to a student’s sensory processing. It can be used to quickly provide sensory strategies based on observable behavior, helping improve students’ ability to participate in school activities.
Information from the OT Sensory Screener can guide targeted pre-referral interventions, such as Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) strategies.
Each behavior page offers insights into how students may process and integrate sensory information, along with practical sensory strategies to help improve readiness for learning and participation.
Links to printable resources, including data tracking sheets, are also available.
New Features:
• Multi-Behavior Tool – Select multiple observed behaviors and instantly receive strategies tailored to the shared sensory factors behind them.
• Visual Timer – A smooth, calming countdown to support transitions, focus during activities, and sensory regulation.
The OT Sensory Screener is not a substitute for standardized, validated, or norm-referenced assessments of sensory processing. If sensory differences are suspected, consult an Occupational Therapist with post-graduate training in Ayres Sensory Integration®.
The strategies in this tool are based on expert consensus and available data. Effectiveness may vary.
Compatible with iOS 17 and later.
This tool should not be used to determine a student’s offer of free and appropriate public education.
