About This Product
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.
Key Features
- The classic, go-to text on sensory integration for Occupational Therapists
- Current theory and research based on the original work of A. Jean Ayres and applications of sensory integration to practice
- Case studies covering a wide range of age groups and diagnoses
New to this Edition
- A focus on current research on sensory integrative theory throughout the text, with two chapters devoted entirely to evidence, Advances in Sensory Integration Research: Clinically Based Research, describing the clinically-based research applicable in everyday practice, and Advances in Sensory Integration Research: Basic Science Research, describing a growing body of basic research underpinning sensory integration theory
- Case examples throughout, with several chapters entirely devoted to applying theory, assessment, and/or intervention principles in a case context, and a chapter describing intervention for a child with poor motor coordination, first through a sensory integrative lens and then through a Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) lens
- New chapters that reflect advances in science and practice, including:
- The history and development of Ayres sensory integration over half a century
- The neurophysiology of sensory discrimination and modulation
- Clinical observations
- Assessing without the SIPT
- Use of the Fidelity Measure as well as STEP-SI and A SECRET models in practice
- New features to make the content easier to understand and apply, including “Here’s the Point” summaries, “Reflections of Practice Wisdom,” and “Here’s the Evidence”

Testimonials
“Perfect just what I needed for a course and it's a 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.
