Sensory integration (SI) issues are widely described in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), impacting in their daily life and occupations. To improve their quality of life and occupational performance, we need to improve clinical and educational evaluation and intervention processes. We aim to develop a tool for measuring SI issues for Spanish children and adolescents with ASD diagnosis, to be used as a complementary tool to complete the Rivière's Autism Spectrum Inventory, a widely used instrument in Spanish speaking places to describe the severity of ASD symptoms, recently updated with a new sensory scale with three dimensions.
458 Spanish participants complemented the new questionnaire, initially formed by 73 items with a 1-5 Likert scale.
The instrument finally was composed of 41 items grouped in three factors: modulation disorders (13 items), discrimination disorders (13 items), and sensory-based motor disorders (15 items). The goodness-of-fit indices from factor analyses, reliability, and the analysis of the questionnaire's classification capability offered good values.
The new questionnaire shows good psychometric properties and seems to be a good complementary tool to complete new the sensory scale in the Rivière's Autism Spectrum Inventory.
感觉统合（SI）问题在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者中广泛存在，影响着他们的日常生活和职业。为了提高他们的生活质量和职业表现，我们需要改进临床和教育评估及干预流程。我们旨在开发一种工具，用于测量西班牙患有ASD诊断的儿童和青少年的SI问题，作为补充工具来完善里维耶自闭症谱系量表，这是一种在讲西班牙语的地区广泛使用的描述ASD症状严重程度的工具，最近更新了一个具有三个维度的新感觉量表。
458名西班牙参与者补充了新问卷，该问卷最初由73个项目组成，采用1-5李克特量表。
该工具最终由41个项目组成，分为三个因素：调节障碍（13个项目）、辨别障碍（13个项目）和基于感觉的运动障碍（15个项目）。因子分析、信度以及问卷分类能力分析的拟合优度指标均呈现出良好的值。
新问卷显示出良好的心理测量特性，似乎是完善里维耶自闭症谱系量表中新感觉量表的良好补充工具。
