Aim
To identify sensory reactivity assessments published in the literature for children aged 3 to 12 years and evaluate their psychometric properties to select the most appropriate one for adaptation to South Africa, with implications for other low‐ and middle‐income countries.
Method
We addressed the following two review questions. What tests have been published in the literature in the past 30 years to evaluate sensory reactivity with children aged 3 to 12 years? What is the validity and reliability of the tests reported in the studies? The COnsensus‐based standards for the Selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology was used. We searched eight databases. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the studies.
Results
The reviewers identified 41 studies, representing 19 assessments. The most common type of assessment was the proxy‐reported caregiver questionnaire. Sensory systems most often assessed were visual, tactile, auditory, and vestibular. Study populations included those with autism spectrum disorder, attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and children born preterm. Ratings for measurement properties of most assessments were moderate to low.
Interpretation
Limited psychometric information was reported, with low ratings for many properties. The Sensory Processing 3‐Dimensions Scale was selected on the basis of its psychometric properties and alignment with best‐practice recommendation to use a caregiver questionnaire and a performance test to assess sensory reactivity.
