Children encounter several types of sensory input from their daily living environments and take in and process this information using their sensory systems. Few studies have considered the impact of children's sensory preferences on their activity participation. This study investigated the relationship between children's sensory processing factors and the daily activities they chose to participate in.
Twenty-three parents of typically developing school-aged children completed the and . Spearman correlations were conducted between sensory preferences and participation, as measured by frequency, intensity, independence level, children's enjoyment and parental satisfaction. Regression models were also completed between each of the participation measures and sensory processing factors.
Sensory processing accounted for 69.8% ( 0.001) of participation diversity's total variance with unique contributions made by body awareness (proprioception) and planning and ideas ( 0.040); 45.9% ( = 0.024) of participation intensity's variance with touch made a unique contribution ( = 0.030) and 42.4% ( = 0.034) of participation independence's variance with body awareness (proprioception) made a unique contribution ( = 0.038).
Considerations should be made for sensory processing screening for typically developing children and the impacts this could potentially have on their daily participation.
儿童在日常生活环境中会遇到多种类型的感官输入，并通过其感官系统接收和处理这些信息。很少有研究考虑儿童的感官偏好对其活动参与的影响。本研究调查了儿童感官处理因素与其选择参与的日常活动之间的关系。
23名发育正常的学龄儿童的家长完成了[相关量表名称未给出]和[相关量表名称未给出]。对感官偏好与参与度进行斯皮尔曼相关性分析，参与度通过频率、强度、独立水平、儿童的享受程度和家长满意度来衡量。还对每项参与度测量指标与感官处理因素之间建立了回归模型。
感官处理解释了参与多样性总方差的69.8%（P = 0.001），其中身体意识（本体感觉）和计划与想法（P = 0.040）做出了独特贡献；触觉对参与强度方差的解释率为45.9%（P = 0.024），并做出了独特贡献（P = 0.030）；身体意识（本体感觉）对参与独立性方差的解释率为42.4%（P = 0.034），并做出了独特贡献（P = 0.038）。
对于发育正常的儿童，应考虑进行感官处理筛查，以及这可能对其日常参与产生的影响。
