Structured Observations of Sensory Integration-Motor (SOSI-M)

The SOSI-M is a standardised assessment of sensory-based motor skills, based in Ayres Clinical Observations, and developed by well-regarded experts in sensory integration.

• Individual Administration
• Ages 5 through 14
• Norm-Referenced
• Testing Time: 20–40 Minutes
• Administration Instructions in English and Spanish

The SOSI-M includes 14 sets of administered items that assess proprioception, vestibular processing, motor planning, and postural control.

• Romberg (firm and soft surface, eyes open and closed)
• Heel to Toe (firm and soft surface, eyes open and closed)
• Standing on One Foot (eyes open and closed)
• Modified Postural Schilder’s Arm Extension Test
• Skipping
• Series of Jumps (jumping jacks; symmetric and reciprocal stride jumps)
• High Kneeling (right and left weight shift and reach)
• Antigravity Extension
• Antigravity Flexion
• Ocular Movements (vertical and horizontal)
• Slow Ramp Movements
• Sequential Finger Touching
• Diadochokinesis (right, left, and bilateral)
• Projected Actions in Time and Space (ball in the air and ball against the wall)

Comprehensive Observations of Proprioception (COP-R)

In conjunction with the SOSI-M, the COP-R, a behavioural observation tool, was developed to provide essential information about a child’s proprioceptive processing. The COP-R is comprised of 18 items and compares a child’s observed skills to typical children their age. This tool provides information about the motor and behavioural skills linked to proprioceptive processing. It is one of the first tools to provide a systematic way to measure proprioception in a clinical setting.
