Digital technologies for students with ADHD

Abstract

The creation and growing use of ICT (Technology, In- formation, and Communication), one of the significant technological advancements of recent years, calls into question whether computers are capable of meeting the demands of contemporary education, particularly in the area of special education. According to research, new technologies liberate and open up amazing opportunities for people with disabilities. These technologies go beyond simple information management to support people with special needs and those who have special educational needs by enhancing their learning capacity, academic performance, and functionality. There is a brief mention of a few of the ICT evaluation, diagnostic, and intervention tools for children with attention and hyperactivity problems (ADHD) over the last 10 years in this review. It also relates to how memory and attention are directly related to one another and interact, as well as how we may assess and enhance memory and attention using technology. This paper also discusses the executive function impairment associated with ADHD and how these can be remedied with technological assistance.
