“Mindfulness
is the awareness that emerges
through paying attention on purpose,
in the present moment, and non-judgmentally
to the unfolding of experience moment by moment.”
(Kabat-Zinn 2003, p. 144)

Principles of Mindfulness Mindfulness is deliberately paying
attention, non-judgmentally
Mindfulness encompasses both internal processes and external environments
Mindfulness is being aware of what is present for you mentally, emotionally and physically in each moment

With practice, mindfulness cultivates the possibility of freeing yourself of reactive, habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting
Mindfulness promotes balance, choice, wisdom and acceptance of what is

1. What did you notice?
2. How is this way of attending different than how you usually attend?
3. How could this be helpful?

What research has to say: Bogels et al (2008) evaluated the impact of mindfulness on
a group of adolescents diagnosed with attention and behaviour-control deficits. They reported significant increases in personal goals, sustained attention, happiness and mindful awareness; changes that were ratified by their parents.
Biegel et al (2009) studied the effects of a modified 8 week MBSR course for 4 to 18 year olds with a wide range of diagnoses. When compared with a control group, the young people who received MBSR self-reported significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatic distress, global assessment of functioning and increased self-esteem and sleep quality.

Zylowska (2008) reported the results of a pilot study of 8 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD who took part in a mindfulness course and showed improvements on tasks measuring attention and cognitive inhibition, and in externally observed and self reported anxiety and depressive symptoms.
![Page 21: Training the Mind: A Case for Mindfulness-based …...2016/03/15 · of Mindfulness Mediation and Learning Disabilities Participants will have the opportunity to pause!

Beauchemin, Hutchins, Patterson (2013) study examined the feasibility of, attitudes toward, and outcomes of a 5-week mindfulness meditation intervention administered to 34 adolescents diagnosed with LD.
Post intervention survey responses overwhelmingly expressed positive attitudes toward the program. All outcome measures showed significant improvement, with participants who completed the program demonstrating decreased state and trait anxiety, enhanced social skills, and improved academic performance.
![Page 22: Training the Mind: A Case for Mindfulness-based …...2016/03/15 · of Mindfulness Mediation and Learning Disabilities Participants will have the opportunity to pause!

Although not directly assessed, the outcomes are consistent with a cognitive-interference model of learning disability and suggest that mindfulness meditation decreases anxiety and detrimental self-focus of attention, which, in turn, promotes social skills and academic outcomes.

Jillian Haydicky (2010) evaluated the impact of a 20-week mindfulness training program on executive function, internalizing and externalizing behaviour, and social skills in a clinical sample of adolescent boys with learning disabilities (LD).
Compared to the WL group, MMA participants with co-occurring ADHD improved on parent-rated externalizing behaviour, oppositional defiant problems, and conduct problems.
