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.
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.
Nonexperimental, descriptive design using correlations, group comparisons, and stepwise regression.
Three outpatient clinic sites in the United States.
Parents of 66 children (33 typically developing and 33 with clinical problems) ranging in age from 4 to 12 yr.
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.
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.
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.
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.
感觉处理三维（SP3D）职业表现量表（OPS）是一种新的家长报告措施，专为有感觉处理和整合挑战的儿童进行全面职业治疗评估而开发。
检验 SP3D OPS 的内部一致性和判别效度，检验感觉处理亚型与职业表现（OP）领域之间的关系，并确定特定感觉处理挑战在多大程度上预测 OP 问题。
使用相关性、组比较和逐步回归的非实验性描述性设计。
美国三个门诊诊所。
年龄在 4 至 12 岁的 66 名儿童（33 名正常发育和 33 名有临床问题）的父母。
SP3D OPS 和 SP3D 量表的家长完成了评估，以解决 SP3D OPS 的心理计量学问题，并确定感觉处理和整合挑战与 OP 的关系。
SP3D OPS 显示出作为 OP 测量的潜力。感觉处理和整合障碍儿童的 OP 缺陷部分归因于亚型表现。需要进一步研究 SP3D OPS 的可靠性和有效性。
这种新的职业表现测量方法显示了感觉处理和 OP 领域之间的关联。它可以提供信息，以支持治疗师确定与目标设定和干预相关的家庭关注点。
