Using the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile in Early Intervention Services

This module is designed for those who use the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile (ITSP) as part of early intervention. The first two sections (pages 3-11) are directed to all users—those who are familiar with ITSP administration, scoring and interpretation, as well as those who are unfamiliar with the ITSP. The rest of the module addresses individual learning needs as explained on page 7. Readers should select from these sections according to their own unique needs. Specific notes throughout the module discuss how the ITSP is included within programs provided in Philadelphia County.
