Their sensory processing characteristics were measured according to the cut scores of the separate questionnaires of sensory profile 2 in the section, school factor and quadrant, section. Results: The research samples scored just like the majority of others on most sensory processing areas, with only two quadrants, one sensory section, and one school factor score indicated less than others or more than others.
