| Popis: | Biofeedback training has proved to be a successful tool in the treatment of many problems, emotional and physical. For the most part the treatment and research in biofeedback training has been carried out with adults. Recent research indicates that children and adolescents also may profit from biofeedback training. Biofeedback is the process of feeding back to an organism information pertaining to its body functions. Automatic functions such as muscle tension, brain waves, vascular activity, and external body temperature are among those body functions that can be measured. Past research has been carried out which may prove helpful in reducing the problems of handicapped children and adolescents. Research carried out in muscle relaxation training of individuals with physical paralyses, subvocalization reduction training in individuals with silent reading problems, relaxation training of children and adolescents with learning disabilities and behavioral problems are only a few examples. At the present time there is a growing number of areas in which the application of biofeedback training can be considered a valuable tool for treatment in the field of special education.
