    Abstract
    Previous research has demonstrated that sensory processing is a temperamental trait that can con-tribute to challenging behavior. Research linking sensory processing to behavior has primarily focused on diagnostic groups, such as autism. Protective factors, such as resiliency, can support children in managing their behavior. While previous research has suggested that relational aspects of the environment can influence protective factors, little research has addressed the contribution of the sensory environment. We aim to determine the contribution of sensory processing (using the Sensory Profile 2) to challenging behavior and protective factors (using the BASC-2) in a sample of 51 children ages 6-11 from the general population. Results indicate that certain sensory processing patterns do predict challenging behaviors and protective factors.
