The difference between the behavior and skills of individuals with schizophrenia seen and not seen with SUD and sensory processing processes was analyzed with Mann Whitney U Test. Behavioral and skills were found of schizophrenia with SUD statistically worse than schizophrenia without SUD; sensory processing processes were found to be statistically better (p<0,05). Spearman Correlation Test was used to investigate the relationship between behavior and skills and sensory processing processes of individuals with schizophrenia with SUD. Behavior and skills and sensory processing processes were found to be statistically related of individuals with schizophrenia with SUD (p<0,05). According to the results of this study, the problems occurring in the sensory processing processes of individuals with schizophrenia with SUD, affect their behavior and skills. In occupational therapy intervention programs to be prepared for individuals with schizophrenia who have SUD in the future, the behavior and skill levels of the individuals and their sensory processing processes should be considered.
