Effectiveness of Mind-body interventions in dealing with ADHD and learning disability: A Review

Abstract

The relationship between mind and body is much stronger than we generally
comprehend. The more researchers and practitioners explore the realm of mind-body
therapies, the more possibilities are created and new hope is kindled. Although a bulk
of literature is available on mind-body medicine, there is still a dearth of studies based
on their application among children who have some neurodevelopmental problems.
This paper is an attempt to review the research available on the application of therapies
like hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and meditation to children with ADHD and learning
disabilities. The study also aims to suggest ways to design better interventions using
the aforementioned tools in the treatment of childhood disorders and to encourage
more robust empirical studies.
