Sensory Processing Preferences For People Recovering From Addictions

Abstract Date Presented 04/7/21 A descriptive study using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile compared the scores of people recovering from addiction with the profile scores of the normative sample and found a preference for sensation avoiding among people recovering from addiction. This knowledge indicates a need for sensory-informed interventions to enhance self-regulation and occupational performance in home, work, and community environments for people recovering from addictions.
