Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate existing evaluation methods and the limitations thereof Korean children’s occupational therapists to understand sensory processing performance in schools. This study provides basic data for the development of sensory processing evaluation tools for schools.
Methods: The questionnaire was administered to 20 occupational therapists with more than 3 years of experience in occupational therapy interventions for school-aged children. The survey obtained information through online surveys and telephone interviews. The questionnaires were divided into general characteristics and evaluation methods and limitations of existing sensory processing in school, necessity of a sensory processing evaluation tool for school, and opinions. The questionnaire consisted of 12 closed questions and 4 open questions.
Results: In total, 90% of the researchers said that school-aged children in schools are aware of 'some information' through their parents or children. Furthermore, 50% said they often complained about difficulties related to sensory processing in school, and 50% that they were more than 'usual'. Finally, 80% of the repondents indicated that the development of sensory processing evaluation tools for schools was “significantly needed”.
Conclusion: Occupational therapists in charge of domestic children reported for the need to develop evaluation tools to understand sensory processing abilities in schools. Evaluation tools will play an important role in the evaluation and intervention of occupational therapy for school-aged children.
