OBJECTIVE. Sensory modulation issues have a significant impact on participation in daily life. Moreover, understanding phenotypic variation in sensory modulation dysfunction is crucial for research related to defining homogeneous groups and for clinical work in guiding treatment planning. We thus evaluated the new Sensory Processing Scale (SPS) Assessment. METHOD. Research included item development, behavioral scoring system development, test administration, and item analyses to evaluate reliability and validity across sensory domains. RESULTS. Items with adequate reliability (internal reliability >.4) and discriminant validity (p < .01) were retained. Feedback from the expert panel also contributed to decisions about retaining items in the scale. CONCLUSION. The SPS Assessment appears to be a reliable and valid measure of sensory modulation (scale reliability >.90; discrimination between group effect sizes >1.00). This scale has the potential to aid in differential diagnosis of sensory modulation issues.
目的。感觉调节问题对日常生活参与有重大影响。此外,了解感觉调节功能障碍的表型变异对于定义同质性群体的相关研究以及指导治疗计划的临床工作至关重要。因此,我们评估了新的感觉加工量表(SPS)评估。方法。研究包括项目开发、行为评分系统开发、测试实施以及项目分析,以评估各感觉领域的信度和效度。结果。保留了具有足够信度(内部信度>.4)和区分效度(p<.01)的项目。专家小组的反馈也有助于做出量表中保留项目的决策。结论。SPS评估似乎是一种可靠且有效的感觉调节测量方法(量表信度>.90;组间效应量差异>1.00)。该量表有可能有助于感觉调节问题的鉴别诊断。
