The study population comprised all children aged >14 years referred to child&rsquo;s developmental centers and elementary and middle schools in Tehran City, Iran. After considering the inclusion criteria, 1272 children were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The research tool was sensory profile-2, completed by children&rsquo;s caregivers and teachers. Their sensory processing characteristics were measured according to the cut-off scores of the separate questionnaires of Sensory profile-2 in the section, school, and quadrant factors.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results</strong>: 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 indicating &ldquo;less than others&rdquo; or &ldquo;more than others.&rdquo;<br> <strong>Discussion</strong>: According to the findings, a high sensory sensitivity leads to intolerance of children in schools. Also, the low level of sensory seeking in toddlers is associated with less than other scores in movement items.&nbsp;<br> <br> <strong>Coresponding author:</strong>&nbsp;Navid Mirzakhani,&nbsp;E-mail:&nbsp;mirzakhany@sbmu.ac.ir<br> <u>You can also search for this author in:</u>&nbsp; <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%28Navid+Mirzakhani%5BAuthor%5D%29+AND+%28Shahid+Beheshti+University+of+Medical+Sciences%5BAffiliation%5D%29">PubMed</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=A9OhBycAAAAJ">Google Scholar</a></span></span></span></div> Child, Sensation, Sensory processing, Sensory profile-2 239 250 http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1568-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Marjan Shahbazi shahbazi_m@sbmu.ac.ir 0000-0001-7375-5111 No Department of Occupational Therapy, School of Rehabilitation, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
