How is the Sensory Matrix™ different?

  • The Sensory Matrix™ is an online questionnaire that measures your sensory processing style.
  • It provides simple and easy-to-implement insights and solutions, yet is embedded in science and research.
  • The Sensory Matrix™ provides a customised and detailed report with sensory threshold results, insights and simple strategies for easy implementation.
  • Your scores will explain how you are wired to unconsciously respond to sensory stimuli and how this influences your daily work and life.
  • It considers daily attention, emotion and behaviour from a bottom-up, lower brain focus, which is different to other assessment tools.
  • It provides solutions for workplace productivity, mental health, wellness, and relationships.
  • Developed by Dr Annemarie Lombard, who holds a PhD in Occupational Therapy (Health Sciences) and is based on 30 years of clinical and training experience and research.
  • It is rooted in the science of occupational therapy but applies interdisciplinary insights and solutions.
  • It’s a holistic way to look at mental health and wellbeing.

During February 2014 Sensory Intelligence® Consulting conducted a sensory audit for our 600 seater contact centre. The audit delivered comprehensive results that improved our understanding regarding the use of space on our employees’ wellness and productivity.
We could use the practical suggestions to plan our new space. More recently we were able to use the results again to send recommendations to our CEO regarding the use of colour in the centre.
