The aim is to assess the sensory processing difficulties in children and adolescents with ADHD.
In all, 38 ADHD children of the age group 6-14 years and 34 age- and gender-matched typically developing controls were included in the study. Sensory processing was assessed on Child Sensory Profile-2. The child behavior checklist and Weiss functional impairment rating scale were applied to assess behavioral problems and functional impairments, respectively.
A significantly higher sensory processing difficulties were seen in children with ADHD than typically developing controls. There were positive correlations between the scores of Child sensory profile 2 with internalizing (with Sensitivity = .036, Avoiding = .001, and Auditory = .029) and externalizing T scores (with Seeking = .031, Movement = .025, and Visual = .018) of CBCL and also with scores of Weiss functional impairment rating scale (with Seeking = .001, Sensitivity = .019, and Registration = .045).
Sensory problems were common in children with ADHD and add to the functional impairments.
评估注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童和青少年的感觉处理困难。
共纳入 38 名年龄在 6-14 岁的 ADHD 儿童和 34 名年龄和性别匹配的正常发育对照者。采用儿童感觉量表-2 评估感觉处理情况。应用儿童行为检查表和 Weiss 功能障碍评定量表分别评估行为问题和功能障碍。
ADHD 儿童的感觉处理困难明显高于正常发育对照者。儿童感觉量表 2 的评分与 CBCL 的内化（敏感性=0.036，回避=0.001，听觉=0.029）和外化 T 评分（寻求=0.031，运动=0.025，视觉=0.018）以及 Weiss 功能障碍评定量表的评分呈正相关（寻求=0.001，敏感性=0.019，注册=0.045）。
感觉问题在 ADHD 儿童中很常见，并导致功能障碍加重。
