Abstract

This developmental research aimed to develop impairment screening tool on Preschoolers’ Sensory Integration Disorder Screening Tool for Teachers, and to examine content validity and reliability in Preschoolers’ Sensory Integration Disorder Screening Tool for Teachers. There were 3 phases of this research as follow; first phase was planning process. The second phase was to set the structure of screening. The third phase was to examine on the sample group to find the reliability by measuring internal consistency and finding the value of Rater Agreement Index: RAI. Sample group of this research was a group of 42 teachers at Special Education Center, the supporting network on efficiency of special education management, the 8th network and used purposive sampling methods. The result was found that the Preschoolers’ Sensory Integration Disorder Screening Tool for Teachers had 43 questions. The questions were divided into 3 aspects: sensory modulation disorder, sensory discrimination disorder, and dyspraxia and had content validity from 0.67-1.00. To find the reliability, it was found that the total test had 0.73 of reliability, which was acceptable. The value for Rater Agreement Index from five raters was 1.00.
