While child sensory profile-2 (SP-2) was used to assess, the sensory processing abilities of ADHD patients, revised Connor\u2019s parent rating scale revised, Malin\u2019s intelligence scale for Indian children, grade level assessment device, and child behavior checklist were used to assess ADHD symptom severity, intelligence, learning, and behavioral problems, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 66 ADHD patients enrolled (60 boys), 22 (28%), 7 (9%), and 49 (63%) cases were the ADHD-hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-HI), ADHD-inattentive, and ADHD-combined (ADHD-C) types, respectively, and 33 typically developing controls. The ADHD patients had a significantly low raw score on most of the factors, sections, and response patterns of SP-2 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), but only four and one ADHD patients had auditory and visual processing scores outside the normal clinical range. There was a trend toward higher scores in the children with ADHD-C and ADHD-HI subtypes. There was a moderate negative correlation between hyperactivity\/impulsivity T-score and auditory processing scores in the SP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05, r = \u22120.43). We observed a negative correlation, although weak, between visual processing scores and hyperactivity\/impulsivity and a positive correlation between the severity of conduct disorder-related problems, oppositional defiant problems, anxiety problems, and auditory as well as tactile processing scores (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). In the quadrant score summary, the scores for all four types, that is, sensory sensitivity, low registration, sensation avoiding, and sensation seeking, were significantly more in the ADHD group, as compared to healthy controls.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Sensory processing abilities in ADHD children differ from that of typically developing children when objectively assessed, although most of the ADHD children had scores in the clinically normal range. The sensory processing profile also has an impact on the severity and comorbidity profile of ADHD patients.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jnrp_22_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,16]],"date-time":"2023-08-16T14:00:29Z","timestamp":1692194429000},"page":"509-515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Sensory
