ABSTRACT Aims: To translate, culturally adapt, and examine psychometric properties of the Malay version Short Sensory Profile (SSP-M). Methods: Pretesting (n = 30) of the original English SSP established its applicability for use with Malaysian children aged 3–10 years. This was followed by the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the SSP-M. Two forward and two back translations were compared and reviewed by a committee of 10 experts who validated the content of the SSP-M, before pilot testing (n =
30). The final SSP-M questionnaire was completed by 419 parents of typically developing children aged 3–10 years. Results: Cronbach's alpha of each section of the SSP-M ranged from 0.73 to 0.93 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) indicated good reliability (0.62–0.93). The seven factor model of the SSP-M had an adequate fit with evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Conclusions: We conclude that the SSP-M is a valid and reliable screening tool for use in Malaysia with Malay-speaking parents of children aged 3–10 years. The SSP-M enables Malay-speaking parents to answer the questionnaire with better reliability, and provides occupational therapists with a valid tool to screen for sensory processing difficulties. • •
