“…Another study found several domain-specific associations; low energy and weak behaviors (similar to postural challenges) were associated with decreased participation in informal activities, visual and auditory overresponsivity were associated with lower participation in self-improvement activities, and sensation seeking was associated with decreased participation in activities in the home (Hochhauser & Engel-Yeger, 2010). Ricon et al (2017) found that children's ability to process tactile, vestibular, and visual and auditory information correlated with their level of independence in daily routines. Moreover, they suggested that skilled processing of sensory stimuli contributes to successful participation in play, leisure, and daily routines.…”

Importance: The Sensory Processing Three Dimensions (SP3D) Occupational Performance Scale (OPS) is a new parent-report measure developed for use as part of a comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation for children with sensory processing and integration challenges.Objective: To examine the internal consistency and discriminant validity of the SP3D OPS, examine relations between sensory processing subtypes and areas of occupational performance (OP), and determine the extent to which specific sensory processing challenges predict problems with OP.Design: Nonexperimental, descriptive design using correlations, group comparisons, and stepwise regression.Setting: Three outpatient clinic sites in the United States.Participants: Parents of 66 children (33 typically developing and 33 with clinical problems) ranging in age from 4 to 12 yr.Outcomes and Measures: The SP3D OPS and SP3D Inventory were completed by parents to address psychometrics of the SP3D OPS and determine the association between sensory processing and integration challenges with OP.Results: Internal consistency reliability and discriminant validity of the SP3D OPS were supported. Scores on the Dyspraxia and Sensory Overresponsivity subscales best predicted deficits in OP. Significant relations were found between sensory processing and integration and competency in multiple OP areas. Conclusions and Relevance:The SP3D OPS shows promise as a measure of OP. The OP deficits among children with sensory processing and integration challenges are in part due to subtype presentation. Further studies of the SP3D OPS's reliability and validity are needed.What This Article Adds: This new occupational performance measure shows associations between sensory processing and OP areas. It can provide information to support therapists in identifying family concerns relevant to goal setting and intervention.C hildren with sensory processing and integration challenges make up a large percentage of those seen in pediatric occupational therapy practice (Mailloux & Smith Roley, 2010). Sensory processing and integration globally describes the ability to regulate one's responses to sensory experiences in an adaptive manner and to integrate bodily and environmental sensory experiences to act in the world (Miller, 2014). Challenges or dysfunction in sensory processing and integration have consistently been shown to influence participation in everyday life activities across occupations and contexts (Bar-Shalita et al., 2008;Chien et al., 2016). This ability to engage in daily occupations in the environment is referred to in the occupational therapy literature as occupational performance (OP;Law et al., 1996).Occupations reflect the everyday activities that give meaning and purpose to one's life (American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2020). Therefore, occupational therapy services are often recommended for people whose sensory processing and integration deficits interfere with OP. Moreover, the occupational therapy profession has an interest in gaining a better understan...

“…There are not many studies that research the effects of sensorimotor challenges on daily living skills in youngsters with autism spectrum disorder. It is critical to archive the connection among sensorimotor and everyday living aptitudes to all the more likely comprehend the particular needs of a child with autism spectrum disorder and to make feasible for them to coordinate in the social environment 20 . Tsameret Ricon, et al, (2017) conducted a study on relationship between sensory processing in children with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) and their daily schedules which involves 20 kids aged 5-7 with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) and 30 ordinarily developing age matched children having the equivalent financial foundation.…”

Background:Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder faces sensory and motor problems (Vestibular, proprioceptive, Tactile, Auditory and visual processing). Due to these problems, individuals faces difficulties in performing their daily task properly. Objective(s):The objective of this study was to determine how daily living (DL) tasks affected in children with autism Spectrum disorder having sensory and motor problems aged 5-12 years. Methodology:The study conducted in Rehab care school for special children and Hamza Montessori School for special children. Data was collected by using purposing sampling technique in the duration of 4 months. Cross sectional study design was used. 60 patients from both genders were included. Sample selection criteria included the children with autism spectrum disorder with age range of 05-12 years. Sensory profile questionnaire based on Ayers sensory integration theory and Standardized Barthel index scale were used and the data was analyzed by SPSS to determine how daily living task are affected by sensory and motor problems. Results:The results showed that Tactile and auditory processing disorders were highly affecting the performance of the children. About 70% of these individuals were having problems in performing their daily living tasks. Conclusion(s):It was concluded that most of the children with autism spectrum disorder have sensory and motor problems. The performance in activities of daily living is affected by sensory and motor problems especially the tactile and auditory processing. Tactile processing shows that children have difficulty in performing activities like dressing, eating and toileting.

“…When the brain is not processing sensory information smoothly or correctly, it will likely lead to sensory integration difficulties [1,2,6,7]. Jean Ayres [1,7] described as early as the 1970s that these types of difficulties can generate a variety of problems in everyday life and others have thereafter confirmed it [3,5,8,9]. Roberts et al [5] reported a strong relationship between body awareness, balance and touch, and the childs pretend play abilities.…”

“…Roberts et al [5] reported a strong relationship between body awareness, balance and touch, and the childs pretend play abilities. A recent study by Ricon et al [8] found an association between sensory integration difficulties and children's daily routines by comparing children with high functioning autism with typically developed children.…”

Background: The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration V R (EASI) is a performance-based assessment tool, aiming to assess sensory perception, sensory reactivity, postural/ocular/bilateral integration, and praxis in children aged 3-12 years. These types of tests are currently not available in Swedish. A structured, multistep process of translation is crucial for maintaining equivalence between the source and target version of a test. Objective: Develop a culturally adapted Swedish research version of the EASI for use in the forthcoming international normative data collection. Method: The translation process followed the first four stages in recommended guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation. Each subtest was translated by two occupational therapists and merged into one Swedish version. That version was reviewed by clinical paediatric occupational therapists in focus groups. The meetings were recorded, transcribed and a content analysis was conducted. One subtest was then subjected to a back-translation process. Result: Some discrepancies regarding semantic equivalence were found and adapted through all stages. No discrepancies regarding idiomatic or conceptual equivalence were found. Revisions due to the translation process have been incorporated into the final research version of the EASI. Conclusion: A first, culturally adapted research version of the EASI is ready for the Swedish normative data collection.
