Participation in social aspects of daily life is crucial to children's development. Although disability status is recognized to affect children's ability to participate in social activities, little is understood about the impact of sensory processing disorders (SPD) on children's social participation. We examined the social participation patterns of 2 groups of children (ages 6-9): (1) children with SPD and (2) their typically developing peers. All children participated in a structured interview to report their social participation patterns, including activity patterns and social networks. We used parent and teacher questionnaires to triangulate the data gathered from the children. Results revealed that the 2 groups of children demonstrated generally similar patterns of activity preferences and use of free time but had significant differences in areas related to intensity and enjoyment of involvement and in their social networks. Implications for future research and interventions are discussed.
