The Sense and Self-Regulation Checklist (SSC) has been developed as a measure of varied sensory systems. The areas measured include abnormal sensory responses, sleep disruption, gastrointestinal problems, self-injurious behaviors, aggression, and irritability. The checklist is useful in assessing difficulties with early self-regulation milestones in areas of sleep, digestion, self-soothing, attention, and behavior. There are six sensory subdomains (touch-pain, auditory, visual, taste-smell, hyperreactive to noninjurious stimuli, and hyporeactive to injurious stimuli). Items are rated never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), or often (3). Domain scores are obtained by summing the individual items.
