Biography
Kenneth A. Lane, OD is a doctor of optometry and a fellow with the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. Since his first book, Reversal Errors: Theories and Therapy Procedures, in 1988, Dr. Lane has published Developing Your Child for Success, Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills, and a series of workbooks that deal with eye tracking and perception. He started the Lane Learning Center to help learning-disabled children in 1980. Visual Attention in Children: Theories and Activities is the result of 3 years of research. Dr. Lane lives with his wife, Janet, in north Texas and spends his leisure time in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
“This book provides the reader with more than ample theory and research allowing a quick grasp of essential concepts while remaining very pleasant and rapid to read, making it an excellent and quick reference guide. It is well written with clearly explained technical language, and complicated ideas are easily understood by the reader less familiar with the concepts that are being presented. In sum, Visual Attention in Children: Theories and Activities will likely become an invaluable resource for occupational therapists and other professionals targeting visual attention in their therapy within a developmental frame of reference. It is a must-have in your library.”
