Movement sensitivity	14	13.31 ± 2.34	5–15	15	14.03 ± 1.63	7–15	−1.97
Under responsive/seek	31	29.98 ± 4.88	17–35	32	31.21 ± 3.41	22–35	−0.91
Auditory filtering	25.5	24.84 ± 4.48	13–30	26	25.73 ± 3.41	10–30	−0.73
Low energy/weak	29	27.27 ± 3.66	5–25	30	28.37 ± 2.35	20–30	−1.92
Visual/auditory sensitivity	23	21.89 ± 3.81	5.00	25	23.82 ± 1.84	16–25	−2.53
Total	169.5	164.58 ± 19.94	102–190	175	174.11 ± 9.35	156–190	3.29

The level of significance was adjusted to p ≤ 0.006.

^***p ≤ 0.001; SD, standard deviation. Lower scores indicate worse sensory processing.
