The calm carrel: a relaxation technique for students with emotional and behavioural disorders
DownloadSpring 2011
The present study examined the implementation of a self-management strategy, termed the calm carrel, as a potential means of bringing about behavioural improvement (as reflected, primarily, in global behavioural ratings, extent of isolation time-out assignments, and student and teacher feedback)...
