Mindfulness improves decision-making, attention in children with autism - Conduct Disorders
School-based mindfulness programs show promise in teaching children with autism to better control impulses, according to Rutgers research
School-based mindfulness programs can improve decision-making skills and teach children with autism to focus attention and react less impulsively through breathing exercises that will allow them to reduce anxiety, according to Rutgers researchers.
The study, published in the journal Research in Developmental Disabilities, is the first to examine the effectiveness of a school-based mindfulness program that emphasizes self-awareness and controlled breathing in children on the autism spectrum.
