Struggle Care

37: Technology Aids for ADHD with Kat Hunt

Listen Later

Technology can be challenging for those with ADHD, and I’ll admit that I’ve struggled at times in this area. If you are someone who responds better to tactile and visual learning, you can probably relate. There are many tools and hacks available to help with executive functioning issues, and I’m excited to learn more in today’s show. I’m joined by technology expert Kat Hunt, who is raising a neurodivergent daughter. Let’s learn more about technological aids that can be helpful for ADHD. Join us!

Show Highlights:

  • Three specific areas in which neurodivergent struggle and technologies that can help:
  • Time blindness
  • Solutions: Apps like Calendly, Artful Agenda, and Taskly
  • Data loss/overwhelm
  • Solution: Migrating events/tasks into Google Calendar
  • Dopamine-seeking or dopamine-resisting behaviors
  • Solution: Forest app
  • Why mobile access to these tools is preferable over a physical tool, especially for those who travel or move from home to office frequently
  • How Kat uses Alexa technology to her advantage in time management with her family and at her office
  • How the Due app forces you to pay attention to notifications for events and tasks
  • How parents can use Alexa features with neurodivergent kids to increase independence and self-efficacy while still having parental structure in place
