Abstract
Introduction: Sensory Processing Disorder as defined by difficulties in setting up and organizing the variety and intensity of responses to sensory input for compliance with environmental requirements. This study was designed to investigate the distribution of sensory processing disorder in children 5 to 11 years in Tehran city based on sensory profile questionnaire. Methods: This study was a descriptive and cross sectional study that performed in children who have 5 to 11 years old. Data collection included a demographic questionnaire and a sensory profile questionnaire Results: In this study 2191 cases were evaluated in terms of sensory processing factors. According to this study morbidity from sensory processing disorder in boys is higher than for girls. Also the most common disorder was observed in sensory sensitivity factor and the lowest was fine movement and perception. Conclusion: Different sensory processing function in these children may explain their abnormal behaviors. These sensory processing dysfunction effects on child's daily life in areas such as play, academic skills and peer relationships, self-help activities. Therapists should consider the child's sensory processing functions when they set therapeutic plans. Declaration of Interest: None.- Sensation disorders
