Anita Bundy

Anita Bundy has more than 40 years of experience as an occupational therapy practitioner, researcher, and educator. She returned to Colorado in early 2016 after spending 13 years in Sydney, Australia. She is probably best known for Sensory Integration: Theory and Practice, the textbook she co-edited with Dr. Shelly Lane and for her work in assessing and promoting play. She has taught sensory integration and play content to therapists and others working with children on 5 continents and has more than 200 publications.

Anita lives in Estes Park Colorado with her partner and two cats. She enjoys hiking, biking, and cooking. She is trying to relearn backcountry skiing after having lived in Australia for such a long time. In joining the STAR board, she will offer her expertise in research, theory and grant writing. She also hopes to strengthen collaborations between Colorado State University’s Occupational Therapy Department and STAR.
