Bio-Feedback

I have been getting hyper/explosive/restless kids a bio-feedback program in their IEP.

The system works with a harness ( heart rate monitor ) and a wrist watch with a flashing alarm.

When the alarm go's off the child does his breathing to bring down his heart rate, and slow him down.

This requires a shared committment between home and school, and must be introduced in a very positive way.

Just want to keep folks aware of their options as far as non pharmacological interventions go.


Hugs N Love!!!

* tip it works really nice when the childs teacher keeps insisiting that your child needs drugs to come to school...the SD pays for the system.

That is an option I would love to try! I think difficult child would be very receptive to it too. How do you go about getting that written into the IEP? Do you need a doctors recommendation/referral for it?
