Highlights
Early Identification of Sensory Processing Difficulties in High-Risk Infants
This article examines a group of infants identified as high-risk for sensory processing disorder (SPD) due to having siblings with identified sensory processing difficulties. The authors conducted comparisons between infants at high and low-risk for SPD with the goal of establishing risk factors to better inform health care professionals and identify difficulties early on. Findings suggest that infants in the high-risk group were more likely to demonstrate differences in cognitive and language skills, movement, and sensory processing. Conclusions discuss that these areas should be monitored to optimize occupational performance. Click here to read the abstract or login to your AOTA account to view the full article.
