So today I thought I’d discuss some of the ways I use biofeedback with the people I work with. Biofeedback basically provides visual or auditory information about normally undetectable physiological processes. It ranges from temperature sensors through to skin conduction (galvanic skin response), and includes surface EMG, respiration, blood volume pulse and sometimes these are put together to provide feedback on heart rate variability. I’m not going into HRV yet, that’s for another day! The most common sensors I use everyday are GSR, which is a reaso...

He is also Director Emeritus of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. These roles most assuredly coalesced in his 2002 book, The Art of Changing the Brain: Enriching the Practice of Teaching by Exploring the Biology of Learning. This is a book for both teachers and parents (because parents are also teachers!) Written with the earnestness of first-person experience and reflection, and a lifetime of expertise in biology, Zull makes a well-rounded case for his ideas. He offers those ideas for your perusal, providing much supporting evidence, but he doesn’t try to ram them into your psyche. Rather, he practices what he preaches by engaging you with stories, informing you with fact, and ...

You endlessly are assisting, reminding and checking up on them to help keep their disease under control. How could your child ever head autonomously away to camp? One answer is the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) diabetes camps for kids. The ADA is the largest provider of diabetes camps for kids in the world. Safety is their number one priority, as kids with diabetes are guided by well-trained staff, usually adult counselors with diabetes working within a climate that understands the daily regimens. Kids are surrounded by kids just like them, diabetes is the norm. Diabetes education within an experiential framework is an integral part of camp philosophy. Kids...
