ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to introduce biofeedback technology to the school social worker as an efficacious intervention for stress/stress related disorders in children whether the stressor is behavioral, psychological, or physiological. Biofeedback has few caveats and presents an opportunity to use technology that is at once appealing to the student and reliable for the practitioner. This intervention moves the practitioner away from the medical model of treatment (a crisis model) to a learning model that is conducive to a strengths perspective intervention. A model for successful biofeedback intervention, advantages, and disadvantages of biofeedback in schools are included in the discussion.
