Sensory Integration and Self-Regulation in Infants and Toddlers: Helping Very Young Children Interact With Their Environment

Back

This book is written for a multidisciplinary audience of practitioners who support the development of infants and young children in a broad array of settings -- including child care, Head Start and Early Head Start, early intervention, neonatal intensive care follow-up, developmental clinics, infant mental health centers, and child life programs. The authors integrate and synthesize knowledge from the fields of occupational therapy, neuroscience, child development, psychology, psychiatry, education, and the movement sciences to help readers: understand the sensory development of infants and young children; learn about assessment and intervention approaches designed to promote very young children's self-regulation and adaptive behavior; and, become aware of new directions and outstanding questions in basic and applied research in the field.
