Which evaluation tools are listed under ‘Other evaluation’ alongside Ayres’ Evaluation?

• A. SOSI-M & VSA-2
• B. SIPT
• C. Beery VMI
• D. Bayley Scales of Infant Development

Answer: (A)

When evaluating sensory processing and related skills, Ayres' Evaluation is often complemented by additional measures that broaden what you’re assessing. SOSI-M and VSA-2 are paired as “Other evaluation” because they specifically add insight into sensory organization and visual-spatial abilities—areas that influence how a child integrates sensory input and plans movements. Using SOSI-M helps screen how sensory inputs are organized and tolerated, while VSA-2 targets visual-spatial processing that underpins praxis and motor coordination. These two together provide a broader picture beyond Ayres' Evaluation alone, which is why they’re listed as the other evaluations to consider alongside it. The other tools listed—SIPT, Beery VMI, and Bayley Scales—serve different purposes or are structured differently within standard assessment batteries, so they aren’t categorized in the same way in this context.
