<div dir="auto">Heather,</div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">For students who need something other than “relaxing sounds” to use in the exercises, consider using visual sound waves that students can control through biofeedback. The more relaxed one becomes, the longer and lower the sound waves. This technique uses a skin sensor & biofeedback to control the sound waves (<a href="https://choosemuse.com/">https://choosemuse.com/</a>) </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also consider using haptic feedback.
