Comparison of Japanese Sensory Inventory-2 Scores of Children With and Without Developmental Disabilities - A Pilot Study

Objective : To describe the sensory-based behaviors of children with developmental disorders as reported on the JSI-2. Methods : The scores of children with disability were compared with those of children without disability. JSI-2 was completed by parents of 38 children with disability 3 through 6 years of age and 36 children without disability 3 through 6 years of age. Results : The scores of children with disability were significantly different from that of children without disability for 6 of 8 factors, including vestibular, tactile, auditory, visual and other. There is no significant differences of age or sex. Conclusion : From this study, it is found that children with disability have deficit in a variety of sensory processing abilities as measured by JSI-2. Further research is needed to replicate and develop these findings.
