Dunn’s Model of Sensory Processing (Winnie Dunn, 2000s) – a model of four modes of sensory processing – sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, sensory sensitivity, and low registration – which are generated in a 2-by-2 matrix by crossing “neurological threshold” (the level of sensory stimulation needed to prompt one to notice) and “self-regulation” (one’s level of agency to alter levels of sensory stimulation). Extreme responses are indexed to life difficulties, as so serve as foci for therapists.
