Sensory processing difficulties (SPD) are present in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, little is known about sensory processing variability in these disorders.
The purpose of this study was to explore SPD among children with DCD, ADHD and co-occurring symptoms in comparison to children with typical development (TD) and to determine how potential social confounders may influence these associations.
The study involved 452 children aged 6-12 years. The Short Sensory Profile-2 was used to assess sensory processing patterns. Multiple linear regressions were utilized to investigate the relationship between DCD, ADHD and co-occurring symptoms and sensory processing patterns, adjusting for social covariates.
Children with DCD and ADHD symptoms showed greater variability of atypical sensory processing patterns compared with TD children. Low registration and sensory sensibility issues were more prevalent in the DCD group. ADHD children showed higher rates of low registration, sensory sensibility and sensory seeking, and all children in the co-occurring symptoms group presented sensory sensibility.
This study reports significant variability in sensory processing among children with DCD, ADHD and co-occurring symptoms using a population-based sample. These differences can contribute to understand how neurological and social factors correlates across diagnoses.
发育性协调障碍（DCD）和注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童存在感觉处理困难（SPD）。然而，对于这些疾病中的感觉处理可变性知之甚少。
本研究旨在探讨 DCD、ADHD 伴发症状儿童与典型发育（TD）儿童之间的 SPD，并确定潜在的社会混杂因素如何影响这些关联。
该研究纳入了 452 名 6-12 岁的儿童。采用短版感觉统合评估量表-2 评估感觉处理模式。采用多元线性回归分析 DCD、ADHD 和伴发症状与感觉处理模式之间的关系，调整社会协变量。
与 TD 儿童相比，DCD 和 ADHD 症状儿童的非典型感觉处理模式的变异性更大。DCD 组中低注册和感觉敏感问题更为普遍。ADHD 儿童的低注册、感觉敏感和感觉寻求发生率较高，而伴发症状组的所有儿童均表现出感觉敏感。
本研究使用基于人群的样本报告了 DCD、ADHD 和伴发症状儿童感觉处理的显著可变性。这些差异有助于了解神经和社会因素在不同诊断中的相关性。
