Paying Attention To Mindfulness

Abstract

Students often struggle with paying attention in class, especially those with ADHD or who exhibit behaviors that align with ADHD symptoms. Through small group counseling sessions, counselors will look at the impact mindfulness techniques have on students who struggle with attention in the classroom. I will work with these students by teaching them techniques they can use when they feel they are losing their focus and begin to exhibit disruptive behaviors. The goal of this study is to give students the tools they need to be successful by using mindfulness techniques to help them regain control of their minds and bodies.
