“…In summary, this study of the psychometric properties of the SPSRC supported the reliability and validity for the identification of sensory modulation disorder and for the measurement of self-regulation and sensory processing abilities in children aged 3–8 years. Nevertheless, the SPSRC is a parent report rather than a test battery, and parents' perceptions of their children's performance may vary across countries and even within the same ethnic group across different countries [53]. Therefore, validation of the SPSRC in other countries is warranted.…”

Background Some children may encounter difficulties in processing sensory stimuli, which may affect their ability to participate in activities of daily living. Self-regulation abilities may also affect children on how to process different sensory experiences. The Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation Checklist (SPSRC) was developed as a single, parent-reported instrument for the examination of sensory processing and self-regulation difficulties in children. Aims This study is aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties of the SPSRC and examine the patterns of self-regulation and sensory processing in children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods and Procedures The contents of the SPSRC were validated by a group of experts, and a field test was subsequently conducted to examine the reliability and validity of this instrument in a sample of 997 typically developing children and 78 children with ASD. Outcomes and Results The results of the validation and field test analyses suggest that the SPSRC exhibits high internal consistency, good intrarater reliability, and a valid ability to measure and discriminate sensory processing and self-regulation in children aged 3–8 years with and without ASD. Conclusions and Implications The current results supported the reliability and validity of SPSRC to assess a child's sensory processing and self-regulation performance in activities of daily living. The study findings warrant further investigation to compare the performance of the SPSRC with laboratory-based tests, as this would better elucidate sensory responsivity in children with sensory modulation disorders from both clinical and research perspectives.

Introduction. The use of executive function (EF) instruments to assess children’s functional performance is obscured with a lack of consensus on which is most suitable to use within the occupational therapy profession. This review identifies EF instruments used by occupational therapists (OTs) for children and evaluates their measurement properties. Methods. This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020172107). We reviewed occupational therapy-related studies published until March 2021, to identify performance-based EF instruments used among children by OTs. Two review authors independently screened, extracted, and evaluated the methodological rigor of the included studies. Adequacy of the measurement properties was determined using the COSMIN, and the Terwee criteria were used for synthesis of best evidence. Results. Five EF assessments were found across eight study articles: Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome for Children, Children’s Cooking Task, Children’s Kitchen Task Assessment, Do-Eat, and Preschool Executive Task Assessment. Adequacy of measurement properties and synthesis of best evidence varied, leading to a low GRADE rating on the certainty of evidence for the included instruments. Conclusions. There is limited evidence that supports the certainty of evidence on the measurement properties of the reviewed tools in helping OTs assess performance-based EF among children. Nevertheless, the authors conditionally suggest their use based on the critical need to measure children’s EF. Further research is needed to establish the measurement properties of these measures across different childhood populations.

“…Estas mejoras están vinculadas en los participantes de primaria a la identificación y regulación de las emociones, mientras que en los adolescentes de secundaria los cambios están relacionados con la capacidad de planificar, organizar y resolver problemas (González, 2015;Madeiros et al, 2016;Wagner et al al., 2015;Yung et al, 2017).…”

“…Destacando las funciones ejecutivas (FE) responsables del autocontrol, la organización, la planificación, la flexibilidad cognitiva, el control inhibitorio y la memoria de trabajo (Flores y Ostrosky-Shejet, 2012). Estos componentes son necesarios para el éxito social y académico, especialmente para desarrollar conductas prosociales adecuadas para iniciar, desarrollar y mantener relaciones sociales satisfactorias a lo largo de la vida (González, 2015;Madeiros et al, 2016;Wagner et al, 2015;Yung et al , 2017). En este sentido, se ha encontrado tanto en modelos animales como humanos que el desarrollo de estrategias de afrontamiento ante los desafíos cotidianos beneficia la plasticidad frontal, de esta manera el cómo aprendemos a resolver las demandas del entorno es fundamental para el desarrollo (Katz et al , 2009;Wagner et al, 2015).…”

Introduction. The social context can influence the biological maturation process, favoring or damaging the functioning of the nervous system. The impact of the environment on the frontal lobe is of great relevance since the so-called Executive Functions (EF) are developed there. EFs are in charge of planning, anticipating, executing behavior and emotional regulation. Developing of intervention strategies that favor prosocial behaviors in children by promoting listening, dialogue, decision, and transcendence could generate changes in behavior and benefits processes related to executive functions. The Education by Experience (ExE) Model focuses on addressing issues related to respect, commitment, coexistence in harmony, gender equality, human rights, care for nature, health, and well-being, taking into account the school as an agent of change through the participation of students, teachers and parents. Method. The objective of this study was to know the effect of the ExE intervention program on the EFs of childhood and adolescence in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. A total of 316 boys, girls, and adolescents aged 8 to 15 (142 men and 174 women), 4th, 5th, and 6th grade of primary school and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade of secondary school, both from public schools, participated. Participants were selected by simple random sampling and assigned to one of the two experimental groups or to the control group. A pre-post pre-experimental type design was used with three groups (Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B, and Control Group). The recommendations and guidelines of the Code of Ethics of the Psychologist were followed. The evaluation consisted of applying a battery of neuropsychological instruments suitable for the Mexican child and adolescent population, known as BANFE-2, for its acronym in Spanish. The experimental and replica group received training in 10 of the components of the EXE model. Subsequently, the data were analyzed. Results. The measurements of the neuropsychological tasks of the EFs carried out before and after participating with the ExE Model allowed to identify that the children of the primary and middle school presented improvements in EFs mainly related to the orbitomedial region and in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The most obvious changes were observed in the primary school participants, where there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post-evaluation of the experimental groups, which were not observed in the control group. These improvements are linked in primary school participants to the identification and regulation of emotions, while in middle school adolescents, the changes are related to the ability to plan, organize and solve problems. In both primary and middle schools, it is observed that the effect size index ranges from low to moderate. Discussion and Conclusion. The students who participated in the ExE program showed an increase in the scores in executive functions tasks, specifically in those obtained in the orbitomedial and dorsolateral subscales, which are related to the identification and regulation of emotions. This study allows us to recognize the impact of the ExE educational model as a preventive strategy and facilitator of personal and social resources with positive results in the tasks of executive functions. Finally, the role of teachers as facilitating agents of change and the advantages of implementing a model based on values as a strategy for the promotion of well-being in educational settings is discussed.
