Decision Reliability of the Assessment of Sensorimotor Integration

Abstract

The decision consistency reliability of the Assessment of Sensorimotor Integration in Preschool Children was estimated. Based on a sample of 23 developmentally delayed children for 3 to 5 years of age, the po index was computed for the six subtests measuring flexion, extension, TLR integration, co-contraction, reflex integration, and bilateral motor integration. Index values for five of the subtest ranged for .78 to .96, indicating a high degree of overall classification consistency. Slightly less consistency was found for the co contraction subtest where the estimate was .67. Caution was expressed in the generalizability of these findings until corroborative evidence form larger samples are obtained.
