Which assessment is described as SIPT and noted to be costly, with an age range of about 4 years to 8 years 11 months?

• A. SIPT (Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests) for ages 4 to 8 years 11 months
• B. SOSI-M & VSA-2
• C. Test of Prone Extension
• D. Beery VMI

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing a specific sensory processing assessment that is both well-known for its cost and has a defined, relatively narrow age window. The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests are a comprehensive battery used to evaluate how a child processes sensory information and how that information supports praxis. It’s described as costly because of licensing, specialized training, and the time required to administer and score the full battery. The age range for this test is roughly 4 years through 8 years 11 months, which aligns exactly with the description. Other assessments listed—while used in pediatric OT for different purposes—do not carry the SIPT name, nor do they share this same combination of cost and the same specified age range. Therefore, the assessment described is the SIPT for ages 4 to 8 years 11 months.
