Abstract

Mindfulness helps people focus on what is happening right now. It can help people to have good mental health.A group of researchers from the USA created a mindfulness-based therapy for people with intellectual disabilities, called Soles of the Feet.Soles of the Feet teaches people with intellectual disabilities to focus on the soles of their feet, instead of focusing on difficult thoughts and feelings.This paper thinks about how Soles of the Feet works for people with intellectual disabilities.
