Abstract

BACKGROUND:The Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation Checklist (SPSRC) is a parent or caregiver-reported instrument that measures a child’s self-regulation and sensory processing ability as they perform daily activities. The original version in Chinese and a more recent English version has reported favorable reliability and validity. While the SPSRC has undergone translation into a Tagalog version, its psychometric properties are unknown.

OBJECTIVES:This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the SPSRC-Tagalog.

METHODS:Reliability and validity properties were tested among a sample of Filipino children with (n= 45) and without disability (n= 45), based on the reports of the parents or caregivers on the SPSRC-Tagalog.

RESULTS:This study found that the SPSRC-Tagalog has good internal consistency, excellent test-retest reliability, and good crosscultural, discriminant, structural, construct, and criterion validity.

CONCLUSION:The psychometric properties of the SPSRC-Tagalog corroborate with its other language versions in its reliability and validity to measure the sensory processing and self-regulation abilities in Filipino children with and without a disability. The information obtained from the SPSRC-Tagalog may be useful in informing our understanding of sensory processing difficulties among children.
