Overview

The Sensory Integration Inventory – Revised for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities (SII-R; Reisman & Hanschu, 1992) is a screening instrument to identify the possibility of sensory integration problems. It also provides information on an examinee’s self-stimulating or self-injurious behaviors. Items are separated into sections associated with sensory integrative processing (tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, general reactions) and are answered by checking “typical,” “not typical,” or “don’t know” based on the typical response of the individual; only presence/absence of behaviors is rated. The SII-R can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes. It is not standardized; therefore, clinicians must look for patterns of response that may indicate dysfunction in sensory integration. The authors report that the SII-R screens out individuals who have serious behavior issues for reasons other than sensory integration dysfunction.
