What should parents and caregivers know to best support children with ADHD around media use and overuse? What digital tools exist that might support ADHD children in learning or staying on task? How is social media both perpetuating myths around ADHD as well as increasing access to resources?
Children and Screens held the #AskTheExperts webinar “ADHD, Children, and Digital Media” on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at 12pm ET via Zoom. A panel of psychologists, digital addiction clinicians, psychiatrists and assistive technology experts delved into the unique considerations for children with ADHD vis a vis digital media use and how families and educators can best support their healthy digital lives.
