PMID 33688309WHAT IT FOUND
Filipino parents could use the English Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation Checklist to report children's sensory and regulation behaviours consistently over time, and scores lined up with other parent checklists.
Key findings
01Parent responses were consistent across checklist items and stable when repeated.
02Children without disabilities scored higher than children with disabilities on self-regulation, sensory processing, and overall ability.
03Sensory processing scores lined up with the SSP total and the SSC sensory domain.

What it does not show
The sample was Filipino and bilingual, so results may not transfer to other cultures or English-speaking groups. The checklist is parent report and may be subjective or biased. Only 20 children without disability were retested, so stability was not shown for children with disabilities. The study included children aged 4 to 12, while the original SPSRC was for children aged 3 to 8. Concurrent validity with the SSC was examined only in 30 children with disabilities. The authors recommend using the checklist with laboratory-based and neurophysiological testing rather than alone.
The easy way to misread this
Do not use the checklist scores as proof of a sensory processing disorder. The study tested a parent-report checklist in a Filipino sample, and the authors recommend using it with laboratory-based and neurophysiological testing.
