Many children with ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit sensory reactivity differences. There are differences in the patterns of symptoms displayed, which require different treatment. The Sensory Assessment for Neurodevelopmental Disorders (SAND) combines caregiver interview and clinical observation and is feasible for use across the spectrum of individuals with NDDs, including those who are minimally verbal or have an intellectual disability, and those who are profoundly affected. The SAND provides objective quantification of sensory reactivity symptoms, to inform personalized treatment planning, and to measure change over time. SAND description, administration, interpretation of results, and case examples will be presented. As a result of attending this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1. Describe a classification system of sensory reactivity behavior preferences by predominant modality and behavior. 2. Administer, score, and interpret an assessment to classify sensory reactivity. 3. Integrate sensory reactivity assessment into treatment planning and provide specific recommendations

Description of why composite scores are more extreme than composite scores on psychological assessments. Covers regression to the mean, index score calculation, geometric interpretation, and explanation to stakeholders.

Psychometric analysis of Children's Stroop Color and Word Test Normative Update. Description of standardization sample and scores obtained, grouped by stratification variables, examined for fairness across groups. Models were constructed to identify important predictor variables. T-score tables were constructed to convert raw scores. The reliability of the test, including internal consistency and test-retest were analyzed. The test's validity was examined by analyzing the factor structure of the test and identifying convergent and discriminant validity with other measures.

Sensory Assessment for Neurodevelopmental Disorders (SAND) is an evidence-based instrument that accurately identifies presence of clinically significant sensory symptoms commonly observed in children with autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders. This document covers the data analysis of the SAND- descriptive statistics, reliability, validity to establish psychometric soundness. https://stoeltingco.com/Psychological-Testing/Sensory-Assessment-of-Neurodevelopmental-Differences-SAND~446419

Explains use of the Stroop Color and Word Test Scoring Application. The Stroop Scoring Application is a web-based application that will help score and interpret Stroop Color and Word Test (Stroop) data, provide dynamic interpretation–text-based and graphical, and provide record management–saving records, restoring past records, and performing batch score analysis. An internet connection and authorized user log-in information is required to use the app. This help document will guide users through how to access the application, score a new assessment, interpret results, generate a report, save a session, load a previous session, and score multiple records. Stoelting is available at anytime to answer questions or provide consultation about use of this application.
