Objectives: Individuals should have good sensory processing ability to function appropriately and participate in daily activities. This investigation aimed to evaluate the sensory processing characteristics of children aged under 14 years. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population comprised all children aged >14 years referred to child’s developmental centers and elementary and middle schools in Tehran City, Iran. After considering the inclusion criteria, 1272 children were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The research tool was sensory profile-2, completed by children’s caregivers and teachers. Their sensory processing characteristics were measured according to the cut-off scores of the separate questionnaires of Sensory profile-2 in the section, school, and quadrant factors. Results: The research samples scored just like the majority of others on most sensory processing areas, with only two quadrants, one sensory section, and one school factor score indicating “less than others” or “more than others.” Discussion: According to the findings, a high sensory sensitivity leads to intolerance of children in schools. Also, the low level of sensory seeking in toddlers is associated with less than other scores in movement items.

“…The values of Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.795-0.919 in typical children and 0.617-0.901 in autistic children, and 0.792-0.920 in children with learning disabilities. Based on this study, the Persian version of the Child Sensory Pro le 2 is a valid (discrimination with vulnerable populations) and reliable (internal consistency) tool for assessing sensory processing (47). Despite the high reliability and validity of Children Sensory Pro le − 2 which includes 86 items, our team decided to use Short Sensory Pro le-2 which includes 38 items from Children Sensory Pro le-2.its reduced participant burden relative to lengthier surveys, widespread use in the ASD literature and easier use by an assistant in counseling sessions were the reasons behind selecting this questionnaire for our research project.…”

Background Despite the high prevalence of sensory processing difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research with a focus on the sex differences in sensory processing is limited contributing to later diagnosis, referral, and interventions. This study aimed to assess the gender differences in sensory sensitivity in ASD children. Methods 190 youth with ASD,(age range 2–15 years,131 male and 59 female) were assessed in the Iran Autism Association clinic. The proportions of sensitivity present in Tactile / Taste Smell / Movement/ Visual and Auditory items and also the TOTAL SCORE were analyzed as a binomial outcome and compared between females and males. Patients were divided into four age groups and sensitivity by age group plots also were analyzed. Results In taste smell sensitivity and visual auditory sensitivity higher scores (indicating higher sensitivity) were found in females compared to males. Although movement sensitivity in females at younger ages was less than in males, at older ages it has been found that females are more sensitive to movement.ASD females showed higher scores at tactile sensitivity than males at older ages, compared to younger ages between 9 to 11 years. Conclusion Sex differences in sensory sensitivity were observed in ASD children aged 2 to 15, with females being more sensitive to ST/VA than males. On the other hand in total score and movement sensitivity, females got more scores at older ages. These findings reinforce the need to take a developmental approach to understand sex differences which may have diagnostic, prognostic and treatment implications.
