SOSI-M: Structured Observations of Sensory Integration-Motor Assessment

The SOSI-M is a new nationally standardised assessment of sensory-based motor skills, based in Ayres Clinical Observations, and developed by well-regarded experts in sensory integration. The SOSI-M includes 14 sets of administered items that assess proprioception, vestibular processing, motor planning, and postural control.

COP-R: Comprehensive Observations of Proprioception 

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 comprises 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.
