Mobile applications as intervention tools for children with ADHD for a sustainable education.

Abstract

Mobile applications are constantly increasing and people are trying to find solutions to problems in their daily life in the digital world. Digital developments provide equal access and learning opportunities to people with disabilities. Today, children spend most of their time using mobile devices. Therefore, addressing their difficulties through mobile applications would be very effective. E-learning applications that use mobile devices, also known as mobile learning, can be used as therapeutic tools to improve both executive functions and quality of life. Moreover, they create greater motivation in children and adolescents by increasing the frequency of practicing cognitive and metacognitive task skills. In addition, audiovisual stimuli provided through smartphone applications can facilitate the understanding and memorization of the information provided. Therefore, they can be essential learning tools for children with ADHD. The present work investigates the role and effectiveness of using mobile applications in order to improve the quality of life of children with ADHD.

A mobile app as a gamified early intervention for ADHD students

“…The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review on the use of mobile applications for identifying and treating symptoms associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mobile applications, powered by new technologies, have the potential to play a significant role in therapeutic interventions, particularly in addressing ADHD symptoms (Doulou, Drigas & Skianis, 2022).…”

It reflects the strength of one's ego and the capacity to manage and govern their behavioral responses (Doulou, Drigas & Skianis, 2022).…”

Children as Audience & Consumer of Interactive Mobile Games: Decoding the Parent’s Perspective

“…The interactive mobile games designed today for children converge to the idea that it needs to be entertaining along with providing some sort of benefit to their developmental state of mind (Anthony et al, 2021;Gocheva et al, 2020). Its use as a medium of engagement and social interaction for children suffering from special abilities such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and autism can be highlighted in this regard (Doulou et al, 2022). Here, the use of such interactive based mobile games can serve to be more purposeful as compared to traditional methods of learning.…”
