Table 2. Mean symptoms on three measures of SOR at age four years (total N = 102) by trajectory group.
| Low | Remitted | Late-Onset | Chronic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age 4 measures (range) | N = 59 | N = 18 | N = 16 | N = 9 |
| TBAQ tactile (1–7) | 2.4 (1.0)a | 4.0 (1.3)a,b | 3.1 (1.4)a | 5.1 (0.9)b |
| TBAQ auditory (1–7) | 2.3 (1.1)a | 3.3 (0.9)b | 2.8 (1.1)a,b | 3.8 (0.7)b |
| senSOR tactile (0–30) | 2.9 (2.6)a | 4.4 (3.1)a | 5.8 (3.2)a,b | 8.9 (5.1)b |
| senSOR auditory (0–22) | 0.9 (1.4)a | 1.9 (2.1)a,b | 1.8 (1.7)a,b | 3.0 (2.5)b |
| SSP tactile (1–5) | 4.4 (0.4)a | 4.1 (0.6)a,b | 3.8 (0.7)b | 3.2 (0.8)b |
| SSP auditory (1–5) | 4.1 (0.6)a | 3.2 (0.7)b | 3.4 (0.7)b | 3.5 (0.7)a,b |
| SSP movement (1–5) | 4.5 (0.6)a | 4.4 (0.8)a | 4.2 (1.1)a | 3.1 (1.3)b |
Means that do not share superscripts (a or b) are different at p < .05; TBAQ = Toddler Behavior Assessment Questionnaire; senSOR = Sensory-Over Responsivity Inventory; SSP = Short Sensory Profile; low scores on the Short Sensory Profile are indicative of greater sensitivity.
