To examine the capability and performance of children with sensory processing disorders (SPD) compared with children who are developing typically and those with physical disabilities (PD).
Participants included parents/caregivers of 81 children ranging in age from 1 to 7.3 years; 57% were boys. The child's therapist interviewed the parents using the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) to measure functional performance.
Children with SPD demonstrated significant differences from children in the other groups in functional skills and caregiver assistance within 3 domains (self-care, mobility, social function).
The PEDI can be used to (1) identify functional delays in young children with SPD, which can affect participation in age-appropriate self-care, mobility, and social skills, and (2) determine appropriate referrals for early intervention.
与发育正常的儿童以及身体残疾（PD）儿童相比，研究感觉统合失调（SPD）儿童的能力和表现。
参与者包括81名年龄在1至7.3岁之间儿童的父母/照顾者；其中57%为男孩。儿童治疗师使用儿童残疾评定量表（PEDI）对父母进行访谈，以测量功能表现。
在3个领域（自我照顾、移动性、社会功能）的功能技能和照顾者协助方面，SPD儿童与其他组儿童存在显著差异。
PEDI可用于（1）识别患有SPD的幼儿的功能延迟，这可能会影响其参与适合其年龄的自我照顾、移动性和社交技能，以及（2）确定早期干预的适当转诊。
