µ*This article documents the convergent validity of the Sensory Profile
(SP) and the Sensory Processing Measure (SPM)-Home Form for children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). METHO: . Parents of 34 children with ASD between ages 5
and 8 yr filled out both measures. Through correlations, chi(2) tests, and levels
of agreement between classifications, the results for the SP and the SPM-Home
Form were compared. RESULTS: The raw scores were correlated for some sensory
domains (hearing, vision, touch, and proprioception) and for social functioning.
The classifications showed a significant level of agreement for most scales
(kappas = .247-.589, p </= .05) and for the total scores (kappa = .324, p </=
.01). CONCLUSION: This study provides further evidence of convergent validity
between both tools. The SPM-Home Form identifies more children with ASD who
present with sensory features for every domain measured by both tools.
