This study investigated whether a relation exists between attachment and sensory modulation in young children. Participants were 68 children ages 3-6 yr recruited through the local community. Caregivers asked to complete standardized behavioral inventory of patterns, parent-child interactions observed their home. The evaluator categorized these on basis items related security dependency. Results revealed modest correlations modulation: rs(66)=.28, p=.02. capacity predict function by characteristics was significant but small (p<.05). These findings supporting should be considered when assessing planning treatment with problems one or both areas.
