Abstract
- Thirty-two children (50% female, 59.3% White, 7-60 months), from middle to high socioeconomic status families, participated in pilot feasibility and validity testing of the somatosensory test of reaching (STOR). STOR tested the child's accuracy of reach to visual and somatosensory targets. All children were able to complete the assessment. Statistically significant differences were found between age groups (p = .0001), showing developmental trends, and between test conditions (p < .001), showing that the ability to reach to visible targets develops before somatosensory targets. STOR also showed a moderate correlation with the Developmental Assessment of Young Children 2nd edition. STOR appears to be a promising tool for assessing somatosensory processing in very young children, and it warrants additional testing in larger participant samples.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.
