Marta Marcilla-Jorda, Catarina Grande, Vera Coelho and 2 others
PMID 38613593WHAT IT FOUND
The Sensory Profile-2 maps mostly to body functions, not environment.
It covers 26 of 111 autism functioning categories, so use it with other tools for activities and environment.
Key findings
01The codes used for the SP-2 items were mostly body function codes, with no environmental factor codes.
02The SP-2 covered 26 of 111 autism core set categories.
03Two trained researchers reached total agreement on the exact code for 80.23% of items.

What it does not show
The study analyzed questionnaire items, not children with autism, so it does not show how the SP-2 performs in clinical practice. The coders disagreed on the most precise code for 8.14% of items. The average agreement was 0.50 when each code was counted once and 0.68 when frequent codes were counted more heavily, so agreement depended on the counting method. The linking required training in the sensory model and ICF before it began. The study used the Spanish version of the SP-2. The SP-2 did not map to environmental factors in the autism core set.
Declared interests
The only funding or conflict information supplied is that the funder named is Universitat Jaume I.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the SP-2 as a complete autism functioning assessment. It covered 26 of 111 autism core set categories and no environmental factors.
