Summary

“Perfect just what I needed for a course and it'sa great book[.] Would recommend to any Occupational therapist, speech, or physical therapist interested in working with the sensory population”—Alexandra A.

  “This is a wonderful resource book for Occupational Therapists working with children. It is clear and easy reading for new and old therapists.”—Denise M.

“… written to enlarge existing understanding of sensory integration without intimidating the reader. The wealth of knowledge can help not only the new graduate, but also the more experienced practitioner.”—Mrs. Consuello M.

Drs. Bundy and Lane, with their team of contributing experts and scholars, provide guidance and detailed case examples of assessment and intervention based in sensory integration theory. They describe the neurophysiological underpinnings and synthesize current research supporting the theory and intervention.
