Developmental Risk Signals as a Screening Tool for Early Identification of Sensory Processing Disorders

This study supports the use of the INDIPCD‐R as a screening instrument that could be used by occupational therapists to discriminate children with and without indicators of SPD. The limitation of this study was that it did not cover all the ages of the INDIPCD‐R. Additional studies are required to determine the utility of this instrument for outcome studies and whether it is valid and reliable to identify children at risk of different pathologies. The INDIPCD‐R is a low‐cost instrument that allows the occupational therapist to make a quick review of the different components that could be involved in SPD and therefore guide the more in‐depth evaluation if necessary.
