This week on the Dads Toolbox we are bringing you Rich Schramm, Founder of iGotThis, a task-focused application , life-management solution uniquely designed for ADHD families that builds self-esteem by ensuring repeated success   It’s no wonder that kids with ADHD are more likely to have low self-esteem – sometimes pathologically low. Repeated failures wear away self-esteem, as does being told that something is “wrong” with you. The truth is that ADHD is simply a byproduct of being extraordinary, but their kids are judged by the expectations of an ordinary world.   iGotThis turns the tables on self-esteem and productivity issues with these extraordinary kids. It is a task-focused, life-management solution uniquely designed for ADHD families that builds self-esteem by ensuring repeated success. It’s loaded with features to keep kids with ADHD on track, focused, and motivated – all while providing real-time visibility and complete control for parents. It provides:  

* Repeated successes with its unique failsafe reminder system

* Motivation through a customizable rewards feature

* Positive reinforcement with game dynamics

* Inspirational Messaging about ADHD

* Real-Time, remote oversight to parents

The solution also features web and mobile dashboards, location based reminders, comprehensive task customization, optional project tracking and checklists and planning wizards for parents. Easy to use walkthroughs and video tutorials help everyone get the most of the solution from the first day.   But iGotThis is more than an app- it’s also a community and a mission. iGotThis provides forums and resources that let users share, teach and learn, support and be supported. As part of its mission, iGotThis is providing public outreach to change the way the world views ADHD and those extraordinary people who have it.   It’s so important to build self-confidence and remind those children that ADHD is not a deficiency, it’s a gift. iGotThis helps them learn valuable skills and creates habits that will help them succeed, and build their self-esteem so they can one day have the confidence to enter the world as adults.   Back the project on the Kickstarter page between March 6th and April 6th to help fund finishing the app and you will become one of the “Founding Families” of iGotThis. These families will enjoy lower prices, additional rewards, privileges and recognition. Users sign up at the iGotThis.com web site and the app will be available to download in the Apple App Store and the Google Play store. Isolation is a big part of this. Rich has three kids that have ADHD and he has ADHD too. This application was made to help with some of the self esteem issues as well as to help parents to get things done with their kids. The application is family based and helps by being a productivity tool for families, especially for kids with ADHD. The tool allows kids to have fail safe reminders before tasks are due. These reminders will continue to be sent to the child until it is completed. Kids will get focus alerts to also help them. Once completed the kids will get tokens that they can then redeem for things that are set up by the parent. The reward system is a great way to provide feedback for your child. Kids with ADHD are constantly being given misses at things that they do not attain. This application allows them to build successes along with positive reinforcement. They also work to share positive messages about ADHD and change t...
