Rationale.
This study explored subtypes of sensory processing disorder (SPD) by examining the clinical presentations of cluster groups that emerged from scores of children with SPD on the Sensory Processing 3-Dimension (SP-3D) Inventory.
Method.
A nonexperimental design was used involving data extraction from the records of 252 children with SPD.
Exploratory cluster analyses were conducted with scores from the SP-3D Inventory which measures sensory overresponsivity (SOR), sensory underresponsivity (SUR), sensory craving (SC), postural disorder, dyspraxia, and sensory discrimination.
Scores related to adaptive behavior, social-emotional functioning, and attention among children with different sensory modulation patterns were then examined and compared.
Results.
Three distinct cluster groups emerged from the data: High SOR only, High SUR with SOR, and High SC with SOR.
All groups showed low performance within multiple domains of adaptive behavior.
Atypical behaviors associated with social-emotional functioning and attention varied among the groups.
Implications.
The SP-3D Inventory shows promise as a tool for assisting in identifying patterns of sensory dysfunction and for guiding intervention.
Better characterization can guide intervention precision and facilitate homogenous samples for research.
