Abstract

Biofeedback procedures for stress reduction have been widely used in a variety of settings. While there are many reports of the successful application of EMG procedures for general tension-reduction with adults and children, little has been done concerning these procedures with children who suffer from a specific learning disability. The present paper reviews the use of EMG biofeedback with learning-disabled children and, after examining those studies performed to date concludes that the supportive conclusions drawn by previous authors can be criticised on methodological grounds, and that the issue of indirect treatment of learning disability via EMG biofeedback is open to discussion. Directions for future research are described.
