"The rigor, passion, and vitality that A. Jean Ayres brought to addressing the problems of sensory integrative dysfunction in children is alive and well as proven by this 3rd edition of Bundy and Lane's Sensory Integration Theory and Practice. Throughout the book, the authors exhibit current work that fully understands and implements contemporary education, research and practice agendas related to sensory integration. Each of the twenty-two chapters focuses on the importance of discoveries that advance the initial theory and application of sensory integration first presented by A. Jean Ayres nearly 60 years ago"-- Provided by publisher.
