Participant No: ,Strengths,Weaknesses,What changes would you make to the Sensory Form?,Additional Comments:,Participant No: 
1,Love boxes and easy layout - not likely to jump to one area of assessment only,I think it would be great to develop something parents could use that is a simplified version of this.,"My therapists seem to jump to underlying capacities only relating to one task (e.g. handwriting speed must be biomechanical or physical) rather than thinking handwriting speed could be caused by cognitive function, biomechanical, neuromuscular, disinterested, self reg, etc. I wonder if by having one example in your presentation that doesn't relate to multiple sensory areas might support this thinking?",Love it!,1
2,link bnetween what is assessed / observed from sensory perspective back to particaption goal and appropriate intervention considering PEO. s,use by other professionals without understanding the form from an occupation perspective,add picture visual from Winne Dunn Model slide to the 4 modulation styles to aid understanding by others,,2
3,Mostly easy to use ,,,,3
4,Clarity and way the page is divided into sections that should be reflected in clinical reasoning process. Also a good visual tool for when talking to non OT's about the child,,No,,4
5,"Could provide a good platform for and working through with family and team, a good place to surmise assessment findings and observations and “brainstorming” Thorough yet broad, not prescriptive yet it is informative ","May not be a clear enough guide for inexperienced therapists. May be difficult to measure progress using this form, I would need other assessments to be more thorough and inform intervention choices in addition to this form ",More detail or examples or subcategories for those therapists and others who don’t have extensive knowledge or are not familiar with the standardised assessments such as SPM or sensory profile,This is very useful. The seminar you present is excellent! ,5
6,"I really like this form and think it is a really practical resource. I think the fact it is one page, comes with prompts and clear instructions, and focuses on participation are all significant strengths. I think it is easy to get caught up in sensory processing itself, instead of the potential impact of sensory processing patterns on participation. I also really like the process of identifying what is going on, what the impact is, and then how are we going to respond to that. ","I think it requires additional knowledge of sensory processing to ensure aspects aren't missed, and knowing how to interpret/analyse information appropriately.","When I showed two different teachers this form (prep teacher and high school learning support teacher), they were both hesitant and I think they currently prefer a 'tick and flick' approach (even though I was suggesting completing it together). They also didn't feel like the prompts on the back gave enough direction. So I wonder whether it would be a possibility to have an additional prompts / question sheet? Especially if wanting teachers to complete this independently (i.e. without OT input). Altneratively, I think how I would like to use it would be give teachers / parents a question sheet to brainstorm and think through these different areas prior to meeting, and then collaborative complete the form together (and hopefully linking in my own observations or discussion with the child age dependent).","At this stage, I am uncertain whether this form would be used accurately and effectively by teachers/parents/other health professionals (I guess it would depend on the level of training offered). However, I really like the form as a collaborative tool across OT and these other stakeholders. I guess I wonder whether sensory processing is still an area we need to 'own' as professionals given it's still a relatively new area of practice (in my understanding at least). My experience with teachers is they grab onto the latest trends and fads without considering the individualised aspect and evidence-based. However, I think maybe with training and also collaboratively completing the form a number of times may support others to use this independently. ",6
7,Structured and focused on goals and plans alongside the assessment data,For some people who are less experienced may not be able to fill out as they may not understand the information or have ideas for strategies. Assumes that they know Dunn's model.,,I am not sure yet whether other professionals have the participation / occupational performance understanding to do this well.,7
8,"I see it a clear and pragmatic way of expressing the complex principles of sensory processing and presenting it in a way which supports the intervention process, whether that is at home or school. ",I see it as an adjunct to the use of standardised assessments such as the SP-2; not as a stand alone assessment but rather a tool to support clinical reasoning and intervention planning.,I can't think of any changes I would make. I think it probably sets out to achieve its purpose in attempting to clarify sensory processing needs in a user friendly way.,"I think this tool could also be used a a simple reporting template, in this simple format.",8
9,Like the simplicity of the form and the sequential nature and feel that it would be a good tool to work through with parents and teachers. I am presuming that this would be a form to fill in after assessment with a sensory profile which provides a greater depth of understanding and prompting of discussions and from this the form can be filled in with greater focus. Like the visual aspect of it. ,A knowledge of sensory processing areas is needed and this knowledge needs to be somewhat indepth. I wonder how much training would be required to easily complete the form in an effective way,Add interoception. Greater space for areas of concern to be able to make more detailed areas of focus. Also for Logistics... change to title What Who and how and greater space for more detailed strategies. ,I think on first glance that this tool will be a useful tool as the NDIS rolls out to focus discussions to meet children's needs across different settings. ,9
10,Enables placement of information from assessmenton one form to allow easier summary. Acts as a checklist for planning intervention and for review. ,Only based on Winnie Dunn model. Not the easiest model to get head around and can cause confusion for some therapists. ,Try to incorporate clearer depiction of the sensory responses for people using the form intermittently. Unclear if the form can have the boxes extended as it is completed but there seems to be limited space for writing in. ,"A form that may be useful post assessment, whether sensory or not, to summarise input and allow for identification of challenges. Good to see strength as well as difficulties, as these are often missed. ",10
11,"The way that the form links body structures and functions with participation problems (occ. performance) in one form. It encourages the clinician to look beyond the performance components to the implications of those sensory processing difficulties. I also like the way it leads the clinician to reflect on good autism practice as this is often the first step for intervention to support a greater degree of predictability in the environment that can lead to improved performance (without the need for some 'sensory activities'). I feel that for early career paediatric OT's this can sometimes get lost, especially if the request for service is for a 'sensory processing assessment'. I also like the inclusion of practive and teaching (self-regulation) concepts into the plan. This encourages the clinician to think about a wholistic intervention, not just a cookie cutter approach!","There is obviously an assumption of an underlying knowledge of sensory processing. Having used Dunn's model means that there may be a tendency for clinicians to gravitate towards the SP2 (when other SP Ax's may be relevant) as a standardised tool as it will compliment this form. This could possibly then take away from the stand alone nature of the tool as an observational tool that compliments the use of standardised assessments. In saying this however, I believe that it is very useful to embed the observations within the theory.  ",Perhaps the problems with participation section could be made slightly bigger? Have you considered how time of day (arousal) and duration of activites are reflected in the form? I think some of the 'time' elements related to intervention could be captured in the logistics section and perhaps some aspects of arousal/time of day would be reflected into the 'assessment'/senses section. ,"This is a well thought out form that encourages clinician's to consider a top down approach to sensory processing. It is positioned within current theory and encourages the clinician to consider environmental/task modification, individualised supports and capacity building. Well done for reflecting these components on a one pager! This is likely to be a tool that I will use in my practice within schools. Thank you. ",11
12,Great instructions on how to use and just one form,Would be too hard for non OTs to use without specific training,Happy with it but would recommend training for non OTs to use - make sure they view the webinar etc.,,12
13,It is comprehensive and a great tool to use as an overall snapshot/ summary. It is user-friendly for less qualified clinicians.,"Visually confusing, although this is not a criticism of the actual tool.","Visually, the form looks too similar. Different colouring/ spacing will help to differentiate areas, especially if using the tool as an overall snapshot",,13
14,"Descriptions of Sensory prompts as well as the meaning of Bystander, Seeker, Avoider and Sensor","Need universal behaviour strategies in addition to environmental changes, sensory activities ",I would make the Participation Section larger and at the top of the page with more space to assess Good Autism practices in those functional skills. At teaching coping strategies: Add examples to choose from (bullet point),"Great form, I will use it with clients :)",14
15,considering that sensory doesn't need to be fixed but putting focus on how it impacts the individual,Without specialist knowledge and training developing strategies may be difficult,,,15
16,"function based, identified replacement behaviours to teach and environmental modifications to consider",possibly understanding of sensory processing (may be overcome with appropriate training),n/a,user friendly,16
17,It is an insightful planner and can be used as a snapshot to base your intervention around. It also keeps the intervention functional and prompts for the right things eg review.   ,"Could provide bigger boxes and becore two sided.  An ""additional observations"" section could be helpful but may become an issue for those OT's that put down SI information and tarnish the OT realm (joking). ","I like it the way it is. I think I would use the back as extra note taking. I can imagine the proactive box being filled to the brim. Also where it says ""review date"" that could go down two lines instead of taking up a quarter of the box to allow more room on top.","I found this tool awhile ago on the Autism Australia page and was excited. I love that the webinar informed that OT's can be ""addressing sensory issues with non sensory strategies"". I think we need to advocate for this more because I see therapists getting stuck to the sensory label. Thank you again.  ",17
18,"the boxes on the different senses, the section on participation, asking if it is sensory.",Missing a box on self regulation. ,"I would remove the boxes of bystander, seeker , avoider, sensitivity and prompt for that info to be put under each sense. This is a personal preference but I find that people understand it more when it makes more sense.  in my experience, there can be kids with trauma history who may have sensory trauma triggers which complicates the pattern. eg Seeking of smell input generally but has meltdown to smell of bananas. I like the boxes up the top under each sense as I think that you could simply state this. eg seeks sent like scented rubbers. Meltdowns to smell of bananas.  I think that there is value in this form being so simple and on one page. IT saves time for everyone to read something so simple, and it is good practice to only put in the most important info.",I like it. Great to see something so simple and yet so detailed.,18
19,"It can be adapted to each individual, and can be used to gather information from variety of sources. It assists to pull together this intervention. It has a strong focus on how to apply information gathered to support participation. It encourages collaboration with all team members. It is easy to understand the form.","I predict there may not be enough space in the boxes to add all relevant details, eg under logistics. ",,,19
20,I really like that it takes into account particpation and acknowledges that there may be other strategies which can be used to support goals and behaviours which may be related to sensory processing. I like that it supports Winnie Dunn's model of SP. ,I think it if you did not have a good understanding of SP it may not be easy to use. But then that could be said for all SP assessment tools!  , I think the logistics section could be bigger and possibly included on the back page of the form. I would like to have the passive and active words added to the corresponding processing pattern. I would also like a more specific section for a goal to be outlined. Maybe on the back page with the logisitics section. ,"Overall I really enjoy this tool and I will be using it as an alternative to the formal SP. I really like how it focuses on sensory only being a problem if it is a problem. The format can also be used a talking format with teachers to reinforce the prompts of ""Are you sure it is sensory"" and the need to address not just traditional sensory strategies. I feel really positive about assessing SP with this tool. I think it will fill a gap in my practise. ",20
