Ed, with BridgingApps, a program of Eater Seals Greater Houston. Tara is a Digital Learning Specialist. She will give examples of how to find and use apps to serve people with disabilities such as ADHD. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to technology I tend to have some anxiety in where to find reputable apps and how to apply the technology. In this presentation, we will learn how to access and use technology to assist ADHD symptoms. Tara will walk us through this process with a demonstration and several case scenarios. I am confident that we will all learn a lot!
